SECTION  I 


FOUNDATION  AND  PURPOSE. 

Agricultural  and  Mechanical.  Colleges  in  the  United  States  owe 
their  origin  to  an  act  of  Congress,  entitled  “An  Act  Donating  Pub- 
lic Lands  to  the  Several  States  and  Territories  which  may  provide 
Colleges  for  the  benefit  of  Agriculture  and  the  Mechanic  Arts,” 
approved  July  2,  1862.  The  amount  of  land  donated  was  30,000 
acres  for  each  representative  in  the  National  Congress.  Under 
this  allotment  Kentucky  received  330,000  acres.  Several  years 
elapsed  before  the  Commonwealth  established  an  Agricultural  and 
Mechanical  College  under  the  act.  When  established  it  was  not 
placed  upon  an  independent  basis,  but  was  made  one  of  the  colleges 
of  Kentucky  University,  to  which  institution  the  annual  proceeds 
of  the  Congressional  landgrant  was  to  be  given  for  the  purpose 
of  carrying  on  its  operations.  The  landserip  had  meanwhile  been 
sold;  sacrificed  for  fifty  cents  per  acre,  and  the  amount  received — 
$165,000 — invested  in  six  per  cent.  Kentucky  State  bonds,  of  which 
the  State  became  custodian  in  trust  for  the  college. 

The  connection  with  the  Kentucky  University  continued  until  1878, 
when  the  act  of  1865  making  it  one  of  the  colleges  of  the  said  Univer- 
sity was  repealed,  and  a commission  was  appointed  to  recom- 
mend to  the  Legislature  of  1879-80  a plan  of  organization  for  an 
institution,  including  an  Agricultural  and  Mechanical  College, 
such  as  the  necessities  of  the  Commonwealth  required.  The  city 
of  Lexington  offered  to  the  commission  (which  was  also  author- 
ized to  recommend  to  the  General  Assembly  the  place  which,  all 
tilings  considered,  offered  the  best  and  greatest  inducements  for 
the  future  and  permanent  location  of  the  college)  the  city  park, 
containing  fifty-two  acres  of  land,  within  the  limits  of  this  city, 
and  $30,000  in  city  bonds,  to  be  used  either  for  the  erection  of 
buildings  or  for  the  purchase  of  land.  The  county  of  Fayette  sup- 
plemented this  offer  by  $20,000  in  county  bonds.  The  offers  of  the 
city  of  Lexington  and  of  the  county  of  Fayette  were  accepted  by 
the  General  Assembly. 

By  the  act  of  incorporation  and  the  amendment  thereto,  con-

STATE  COLLEGE  OF  KENTUCKY. 


stituting  the  charter  of  the  Agricultural  and  Mechanical  College 
of  Kentucky,  liberal  provision  is  made  for  educating,  free  of 
tuition,  the  energetic  young  men  of  the  Commonwealth  whose  means 
are  limited.  The  normal  department,  for  which  provision  is  also 
made,  is  intended  to  aid  in  building  up  the  common  sell olol  system* 
by  furnishing  properly  qualified  teachers.  This  college,  with  the 
additional  departments  which  will  from  time  to  time  he  opened  as 
the  means  placed  at  the  disposal  of  the  trustees  allow,  will,  it  isl 
hoped,  in  the  not  distant  future,  do  a great  work  in  advancing  the 
educational  interests  of  Kentucky.  Being  entirely  undenominational 
m its  character,  it  will  appeal  with  confidence  to  people  of  all  creeds, 
and  of  no  creeds,  and  will  endeavor  to  restrict  conformity  with  the  re- 
quirements of  its  organic  law,  to  afford  equal  advantages  to  all, 
and  exclusive  privileges  to  none.  The  liberality  of  the  Common- 
wealth in  supplementing  the:  inadequate  annual  income  arising  from 
the  proceeds  of  the  landscrip  invested  in  State  bonds,  will,  i't  is  be- 
lieved, enable  the  trustees  to  begin  and  carry  on,  upon  a scale  com- 
mensurate with  the  wants  of  our  people,  the  operations  of  the  insti- 
tution whose  management  and  oversight  have  been  committed  to 
them  by  the  General  Assembly  of  Kentucky. 


SCOPE  OF  STUDIES. 


In  the  act  of  Congress  making  provision  for  the  class  of  ^olleges- 
1o  which  the  State  College  partly  belongs,  it  is  declared  “that 
iheir  leading  object  shall  be,  without  excluding  other  scientific 
and  classical  studies,  and  including  military  tactics,  to  teach  such 
branches  of  learning  as  are  related  to  agriculture!  and  the  mechanic 
arts  in  order  to  promote  the  liberal  and  practical  education  of  the 
industrial  classes  in  the  several  pursuits  and  professions  of  life.” 
To  the  two  departments  of  agriculture  and!  mechanic  arts,  con- 
templated in  the  act,  a normal  school  has  been  added  by  the  State 
and  an  experimental  station  by  the  United  States,  while  liberal  provis- 
ion has  been  made  for  instruction  in  all  branches  of  science  and  in 
the  classics,  so  that  this  institution  is  far  more  than  an  agricultural 
and  mechanical  college,  embracing  as  it  does  not  merely  the  two 
original  departments,  but  thirteen  others. 


STATE  COLLEGE  OF  KENTUCKY. 


THE  NORMAL  DEPARTMENT. 

The  normal  department  of  the  State  College  exists  under  the 
authority  of  acts  of  the  General  Assembly  approved  April  23,  and 
April  29,  1880.  Section  7 of  the  first  act  briefly  defines  the  object 
for  which  the  department  was  established,  “ A normal  department 
or  course  of  instruction  for  irregular  periods,  designed1  more  par- 
ticularly, but  not  exclusively,  to  qualify  teachers;  for  common  and 
other  schools,  shall  be  established  in  connection  with  the  college.” 
The  second  act  provides  the  necessary  endowment  to  make  the  act 
effective. 

The  number  of  students  annually  enrolled  in  the  norma!  school  has 
exceeded  expectation.  As  they  come  from  all  parts  of  the  State, 
and  many  of  them  return  well  prepared  for  the  profession  of  teach- 
ing, they  must  greatly  promote  the  proficiency  of  our  common 
schools  generally,  and  demonstrate  the  wisdom  of  the  General  Assem- 
bly in  providing  an  inexpensive  normal  school,  centrally  located  and 
easy  of  access,  to  keep  the  State  always  supplied  with  well  trained 
leathers. 

THE  KENTUCKY  EXPERIMENT  STATION. 


This  department  of  the  State  College  originated  in  a resolution 
of  the  executive  committee  of  the  Board  of  Trustees,  adopted  in 
September,  1885,  when  the  department  was  organized  and  a director 
appointed.  In  188b  the  Station  was  recognized  and  named  by  the 
General  Assembly,  and  in  1887  it  and  a similar  Station  in  every 
other  State  were  each  endowed  by  Congress  with  an  annual  ap- 
propriation of  |15,000. 

The  work  of  the  Station  is  directed  to  two  objects:  1.  To 
a constant  succession  of  experiments  made  by  specialists,  in  order 
to  learn  what  application  of  science  will  insure  the  best  returns! 
from  the  farm,  the  garden,  the  orchard,  the  vineyard,  the  stock- 
yard and  the  dairy.  2.  To  the  publications  of  bulletins  annouuce- 
ing  such  results  of  the  experiments  as  are  found  to  be  valuable 
to  those  of  the  people  of  Kentucky  who  seek  profit  from  either 
of  those  prime  sources  of  wealth — the  soil,  the  flock  or  the  herd. 

Results  of  experiments  have  been  published  in  ten  annual  re- 
ports and  ninety  bulletins,  and  general  appreciation  of  their  utility 
is  shown  in  the  fact  that,  while  no  bulletin  is  sent  except  upon

STATE  COLLEGE  OF  KENTUCKY. 


application  for  i+,  the  mailing  list  of  the  Station  contains  more  than 
8.000  names,  and  is  ever  increasing. 

With  an  ample  endowment,  a large  and  commodious  building 
planned  for  the  purpose,  adequate  apparatus,  a good  experimental 
farm  of  over  two  hundred  acres  and  worth  $60,000,  conveniently 
situated,  and  thirteen  capable  scientists  always  employed  and  in 
correspondence  with  other  Stations,  the  Kentucky  Experiment  Sta- 
tion is  net  only  an  important  adjunct  of  the  College  in  the  education 
of  students  for  the  leading  industrial  pursuits,  hut  directly  or  in- 
directly, through  the  wide  and  continued  diffusion  of  knowledge 
for  the  benefit  of  so  large  a portion  of  our  population,  it  is)  ex- 
tremely useful  to  the  Commonwealth  at  large. 

LOCATION. 

The  State  College  of  Kentucky  is  established  in  the  old  city 
park  just  within  the  southern  boundary  of  Lexington,  and  near 
the  Cincinnati  Southern  Railway.  The  site  is  elievated  and  com- 
mands a good  view  of  much  of  the  city  and  of  the  surrounding 
country. 

Lexington,  now  a growing  city  of  thirty  odd)  thousand  inhabit  amts, 
is  in  the  heart  of  the  far-famed  bluegrass  region,  a region  dis1- 
tinguished  for  fertility  and  healthfulness,  wealth  and  beauty.  Nu- 
merous schools  and  churches,  intelligent  and  refined  population, 
well  paved  streets,  handsome  buildings,  extensive  water  works  and 
an  unsurpassed  system  of  street  electric  railways  make  Lexington 
attractive  as  a seat  of  learning  and  place  of  residence,  while  the 
splendid  stock  farms  scattered  over  -the  large  body  of  fertile  country 
around  it  afford  it  advantages  hardly  equaled  elsewhere)  for  the 
student  who  desire  to  become  familiar  with  'the  best  breeds  of  horses, 
cattle,  sheep  and  swine  in  America.  Moreover,  Lexington  is  the  rail- 
road center  of  Kentucky,  in  immediate  connection  With  Louisville, 
Cincinnati.  Mavsville  and  Chattanooga,  and  with  more  than  seventy 
counties  of  the  Commonwealth. 

GROUNDS. 


The  campus  of  the  college  consists  of  fifty-two  acres  of  land,  located 
within  the  corporate  limits  of  Lexington.  The  South  Limestone 
street  elect rU  car  line  extends  along  its  entire  western  border, 


STATE  COLLEGE  OF  KENTUCKY.

giving  opportunity  to  reach  in  a few  minutes  any  part  of  the  city. 
The  campus  is  laid  out  in  walks,  drives  and  lawns,  and  is  planted! 
with  a choice  variety  of  native  and  exotic  trees  and  shrubsl,  to 
which,  additions  are  constantly  being  made.  A portion  of  the  land 
has  recently  been  reserved  for  a botanical  garden,  in  which  will  be 
grown  the  most  desirable  native  plants,  with  a view  to  testing  their 
adaptability  to  cultivation,  and  to  give  increased  facilities  to  stu- 
dents taking  agricultural  and  biological  courses. 

About  three-quarters  of  a mile  south  of  the  campus,  on  the,  Nich- 
ofasviiTe  pike,  an  extension  of  South  Limestone  street,  is  the  Experi- 
ment Station  Farm,  consisting  of  two  hundred  and  three  acres 
sixty-four  and  a half  acres  of  which  have  been  added  by  recent  pur- 
chase. Here  the  field  experiments  of  the  Station  are  conducted,  and 
students  have  opportunities  to  witness  tests  of  varieties  of  field 
crops,  dairy  tests,  fertilizer  tests,  fruit  spraying  tests,  in  short,  all 
of  the  scientific  experiments  of  a thoroughly  equipped  and  organized 
Station.  The  front  of  the  farm  is  pasture  and  orchard.  The  back 
portion  is  divided  off  info  two  hundred  one-tenth  acre  plots,  for  con- 
venience in  making  crop  tests. 


BUILDINGS. 


The  main  college  building  is  ai  structure  of  stone  and  brick,  140 
feet  long  and  69  feet  wide.  It  contains  the  office  of  the  president 
and  the  business  agent,  and  on  the  third  floor,  counting  the  base- 
ment floor  as  one,  is  the  chapel  in  which  each  day  the  students 
and  faculty  meet,  and  in  which  are  held  public  gatherings  and  such 
other  meetings  as  bring  together  the  entire  student  body.  The 
remaining  space  in  this  building  is  occupied  by  recitation  rooms. 

The  Station  building  is  a handsome  structure,  well  planned  for 
the  object  for  which  it  was  made.  It  is  seventy  feet  in  length, 
by  flftv-four  feet  in  width,  with  a tower  projection  in  front  and  am 
octagonal  projection  eighteen  hv  eighteen  on  the  north  side.  The 
building  is  two  stories  high,  with  a basement  eleven  feet  from  floor 
to  ceiling.  The  main  entrance  is  on  the  first  floor  on  fh'e  west  side 
of  the  building,  through  an  archway  fifteen  feet  wide.  The  next 
floor  above  is  devoted  to  office  and  laboratory  work  of  the  Station, 
while  the  upper  floor  accommodates  the  college  work  in  chemistry. 


10 


STATE  COLLEGE  OF  KENTUCKY. 


The  building  devoted  to  mechanical  engineering  covers  altogether 
an  area  of  about  20,000  feet,  is  constructed  of  stone  and  pressed 
brick,  and  is  well  furnished  with  modern  conveniences  for  work  in 
this  branch  of  engineering. 

Two  large  brick  dormitories  on  the  campus  afford  boarding  con- 
venience for  the  students  who  wish  to  lessen  expense  in  this  direction. 
There  are  also  on  the  campus  a brick  dwelling  for  the  president  and 
a cottage  occupied  by  the  commandant. 

Science  Hall,  built  during  the  year  1897  for  the  departments  of 
natural  science,  is  96x97  feet,  of  pressed  brick,  trimmed  with  Bowl- 
ing Green  limestone.  The  wide  halls,  the  numerous  and  spacious 
lecture  rooms,  laboratories  and  offices  in  its  three  stories  are  con- 
veniently arranged,  well  lighted,  and  well  furnished. 

On  the  Experiment  Farm  are  a brick  dwelling,  occupied  by  the 
director  of  the  Station,  and  the  usual  farm  buildings  for  the  care  of 
tools,  the  protection  of  stock  and  the  like. 

A brick  building  157  feet  long  and  100  feet  wide,  with  the  central 
part  three  stories  high  and  the  wings  two,  has  just  been  completed 
at  a cost  of  $25,000.  The  central  part  will  be  appropriated  to  the 
college  societies  and  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.,  the  alumni  hall,  trustees’  room 
and  armory;  the  wings  will  contain  the  drill  hall  and:  the  gymnasium. 

A site  of  three  and  a half  acres  on  Limestone  street  and  a fourth 
of  a mile  ‘south  of  the  college  has  been  purchased  for1  tftie  young 
women’s  dormitory.  The  building  is  to  cost  $20,000,  and  be' completed 
by  the  beginning  of  the  next  session. 

DESCRIPTION  OF  GYMNASIUM,  STATE  COLLEGE  OF 

KENTUCKY. 

Through  the  liberality  of  the  General  Assembly  of  1901  a!  gymna- 
sium and  drill  hall  has  been  built  on  the  State  College  grounds. 
The  building  is  of  imposing  design;  the  main  portion  of  the  build- 
ing is  three  stories  high  and  the  two  wings  are  one  and  two  stories) 
high,  respectively.  The  building  is  of  pressed  brick  with  Bedford 
stone  trimmings,  slate  roof  and  stone  foundation.  The  first  story 
of  the  main  part  of  the  building  is  built  of  Bedford  limdstbne!  in 
broken  ashlar.  The  first  floor  of  the  central  portion  of  the  building 
is  devoted  to  a locker  room  for  women,  armory,  trophy  room, 
commandant’s  office  and  physical  director’s  office.  The  second

floor  is  sot  aside  for  alumni  lia,ll,  trustee’s  room,  and  literary  soi 
ciety  room.  The  third  floor  is  occupied  by  two  literary  society 
rooms  and  Y.  M.  0.  A.  The  wing  on  the  right  of  the  building  is 
48x95  feed  and  is1  an  open  room  with  hard  clay  floor;  this  room  is 
for  military  exercises  during  inclement  weather.  The  wing  on  the 
left  is  48x95  feet  and  is  two  storiesi  high;  the  basement  floor  contains 
rhe  bath  rooms.  lockers  for  men,  wash  stands,  shower  baths,  water 
closets  and  swimming  pool;  the  second  floor  is  the  gymnasium  floor, 
proper  and  is  magnificently  equipped  with  the  best  gymnasium  ap- 
paratus that  could  be  procured.  The  height  of  this  room  is  twenty 
feet;  on  a balcony  running  entirely  around  the  room  is  a running 
track  properly  concaved  for  speed  and  covered  with  felt.  The  roof 
over  the  gymnasium  room  is  supported  on  steel  trusses  to  which  all 
hanging  apparatus  is  attached;  the  trusses  over  the  drill  hall  are  of 
wood.  The  building  is  lighted  throughout  by  electric  light  and  all 
of  the  fixtures  are  of  Bower-Banf  finish.  The  drill  hall  and  gymna- 
sium room  are  lighted  with  enclosed  arc  lamps. 

The  finish  throughout  the  building  is  of  yellow  pine,  the  walls 
are  sand  finished  in  gray  and  the  ceilings  in  smooth  white.  There 
are  two  entrances  into  the  front,  and  vestibules  have  tile  floor. 
The  building  is  heated  by  an  independent  plant  using  the  vacuum 
system  of  steam  heating  and  steam  is  circulated  throughout  the 
building  at  a pressure  of  eight  ounces. 

The  building  is  located  to  the  left  of  the  main  college  building 
and  at  a distance  to  make  it  convenient  to  the  athletic  field.  The 
building  is  arranged  so  as1  to  accommodate  the  young  men  and  young 
women  at  different  times,  the  locker  rooms  for  men  and  women 
are  entirely  removed  and  on  different  floors.  The  rooms  used  for 
society  rooms,  Y.  M.  C.  A.,  trustee’s  rooms  and  alumni  hall  are  com- 
modious and  splendidly  adapted  for  their  purpose. 


SCHOOL  OF  MINES. 


The  Legislature  of  1897-8  made  provision  for  the  establishment 
of  a school  of  mining  engineering  in  the  A.  & M.  College  on  the  ex- 
piration of  the  term  of  service  of  the  inspector  of  mines  appointed 
by  Governor  Bradley.  This  occurred  January  19,  1902. 

The  act  provides  that  the  offices  of  inspector  of  mines  and  Ms 
assistants  shall  henceforward  be  at  the  State  College,  that  these 


12 


STATE  COLLEGE  OF  KENTUCKY. 


officials  shall  no  longer  he  political  appointee®  holding  under  an 
appointment  of  the  Governor,  hut  that  they  shall  he  appointed  hy 
the  board  of  trustees  of  the  college ; that  in  addition  to  their  duties 
as  inspector  and  assistant  inspector  of  mines  they  shall1  he  professors 
in  the  college — the  former  being  dean  of  the  faculty  of  mining  engi- 
neering, and  that  they  shall  hold  office  as  professors  in  the  college  on 
identical  conditions  with  other  professors.  The  board  of  trustees 
have  elected  Mr.  C.  J.  Norwood,  former  inspector  of  mines,  to  suc- 
ceed Mr.  G.  W.  Stone,  the  late  incumbent.  A suitable  staff  of  assist- 
ants will  he  associated  with  him,  and  the  School  of  Mines  was  opened 
early  in  1902.  The  importance  of  this  addition  to  the  Schools  of 
Mechanical  Engineering,  Electrical  Engineering  and  Civil  Engineer- 
ing can  not  be  overestimated.  The  coal  and  iron  of  Kentucky — the  oil 
fields  in  which  important  discoveries  have  been  made — the  valuable 
deposits  of  fire  clay — the  excellent  stone  for  building  and  other  min- 
eral deposits  of  value—  all  press  upon  the  Commonwealth  the  urgen- 
cy of  the  sTeps  taken  for  establishing  a first-class  School  of  Mining 
Engineering. 

The  Legislature  will  be  asked  for  a liberal!  appropriation  to  supply 
the  necessary  equipment  in  order  to  make  theoretical,  instruction 
effective. 

The  Legislature  has  established  the  school  and  it  now  behooves  it 
to  supply  the  necessary  material  for  making  it  a productive  agency 
in  education  worthy  of  the  State. 


COMMON  SCHOOLS  AND  THEIR  RELATION  TO  THE  COL- 
LEGE. COUNTY  SUPERINTENDENTS. 


It  is  difficult  for  us  to  raise  the  standard  of  admission  so  long 
as  the  common  school  standard  and  that  of  a majority  of  the  second- 
ary or  high  schools  remain  at  the  present  level.  There  is  a tendency 
for  these  to  teach  too  many  things,  rather  than  to  teach  them  thorough- 
ly. So  far  a,s  the  requirements  of  the  State  College  are  concerned  we 
should  get  students  much  better  prepared  for  our  work  in  all  our 
courses  of  study  if  fewer  subjects  were  taught  and  those  taught  with 
more  thoroughness.  We  want  pupils  well  grounded  in  spelling, 
reading,  writing,  geography,  English  grammar  and  arithmetic. 

Too  much  insistence  can  not  be  placed  upon  the  necessity  fbr

these.  The  law  requires  that  all  appointees  from  counties  be  actually 
examined1  by  examiners  appointed  by  county  superintendents!  within 
dates  set  forth  in  the  law;  that  the  questions!  for  examination  be 
prepared  by  the  college  and  transmitted'  to  superintendents;  that 
the  examination  cover  the  subjects  taught  in  the  common  schools 
and  that  candidates  for  appointment  shall  have  completed  the  com- 
mon school  course.  Moreover,  the  examinations  when  there  are  more 
applicants  than  one  shall  be  competitive  and'  the  appointment  given 
to  the  one  who  passes  the  best  examination.  The  Successful  com- 
petitor is  entitled  to  free  tuition,  matriculation,  fuel  and  lights  and 
lodging  as  far  as  the  accommodation  on  the  grounds!  will  permit; 
and  traveling  expenses  hither  and  return  if  the  appointee  remains 
one  year. 

Many  of  the  superintendents,  I regret  to  say,  ignore  the  require- 
ments of  the  law.  They  fail  to  appoint  a date  for  examination;  fail 
to  examine;  fail  to  enter  grades  made.  They  issue  so-dalled)  ap- 
pointments to  persons  not  entitled  to  them — send  them  hither  to  be 
subjected  to  the  mortification  of  failing  to  pass  the  entrance  examina- 
tion and  to  the  expense  of  a fruitless  journey.  Many  innocent  per- 
sons are  thus  misled  and  betrayed  by  negligent  or  incompetent1  su- 
perintendents who  are  paid  to  do  duties  which  they  neglect  and 
ignore.  Surety  this  matter  is  susceptible  to  remedy,  and  we  earnestly 
invoke  your  aid  and  cooperation  in  securing  by  appropriate  legis- 
lation the  remedy  required. 

The  college  is  made  by  the  sections  14  and  15  of  the  act  of  March, 
1893,  the  virtual  head  of  the  common  school  system,  and  you  amdl 
we  are  equally  interested  in  seeing  that  the  liberal  provisions  of 
the  act  are  made  productive  of  fruitful  and  beneficent  results.  No 
such  liberal  provision  has  been  made  by  any  State  in  the  Union  for 
carrying  forward  the  education  of  the  common  schools  into  the  col- 
lege and  it  behooves  ns  to  see  that  this  liberality  does  not  fail!  to 
accomplish  the  results  intended.  Let  us  make  education  in  the  com- 
mon school's  more  thorough  and  let.  us  require  under  a penalty  the 
county  superintendents  to  do  their  duty.* 

We  believe  that  you  will,  with  all  the  energy  and  wisdom  at  your 
command  cooperate  gladly  with  us  in  providing  the  necessary  means 
to  secure  this  most  desirable  end.

STATE  COLLEGE  OF  KENTUCKY. 


Every  one  of  tlie  “Land  Grant”  Colleges,  organized  under  the 
Act  of  1862,  are  liberally  provided  by  the  respective  States  in  which 
they  are  situated,  with  the  necessary  buildings  and  appliancesi  by 
which  agricultural  education  may  be  made  effective.  The  principal 
industry  of  Kentucky  is  and  for  generations  to  come  will  be  agricul- 
ture. The  competition  is  so  keen  and  the  aggregate  acreage  of  the 
United  States  so  large  that  unless  intelligence  be  brought  to  bear  upon 
the  cultivation  of  the  soil,  those  who  are  owners  of  land1  in  Kentucky, 
instead  of  becoming  richer,  must  gradually  become  poorer  from  year 
to  year.  No  soil,  however  fertile,  will,  unless  its  elements  of  fertility 
be  replenished,  from  time  to  time,  last  forever.  In  many  localities, 
the  wear  and  tear  upon  the  soil  is  already  beginning  to  tell  seriously 
upon  production.  The  farmer  then  should  be  intimately  acquainted 
with  the  origin  of  soils  and  their  constituent  elements.  He  should 
know  what  these  elements  of  fertility  are,  how  they  are  dissipated 
and  how  they  may  be  replenished.  This  implies  an  intimate  know- 
ledge of  the  mechanical  constituents  of  the  soil  and  their  chemical 
properties.  It  is  the  part  of  the  agricultural  college  to  supp]|y  this 
information  to  the  farmer.  This  is  done  partly  by  the  education  of 
young  men  who  have  matriculated  in  agricultural'  courses  of  study, 
and  partly  by  the  bulletins)  issued  from  time  to  time  by  the  Experi- 
ment Stations  connected  with  the  “Land  Grant”  colleges,  and  dis- 
seminated gratuitously  among  the  agriculturists  of  the  State.  Not 
only  should  the  intelligent  farmer  know  the  mechanical  and  chemi- 
cal constituents  of  the  soil,  but  he  should  know  how  plants  feed  and 
how  plants  grow.  That  is  to  say,  he  should  know  the  elements  of 
nutrition  drawn  from  the  soil  aud  drawn  from  the  atmosphere.  This 
knowledge  is  supplied  by  the  agricultural  college  through  instruction 
given  in  the  germination  of  seeds,  the  nutrition  of  plant  life,  and  the 
development  and  growth  of  the  plant. 

Furthermore,  the  products  of  the  soil  in  herbage  aud  in  grain 
exist  in  our  Commonwealth  largely  for  the  benefit  of  the  stock  to 
which  they  are  fed.  Our  horses  and  our  cattle,  our  sheep  and  our 
swine,  and  our  poultry  transform  the  products  of  the  soil  into  flesh 
and  blood,  partly  for  use  and  partly  for  consumption.  It  is  essential 
then  that  the  intelligent  stock  feeder  and  stock  breeder  should  know 
upon  what  animals  feed  and  how  they  grow,  that  they  should  know 
the  law®  of  production,  the  laws  of  heredity  and  the  principles  of 
cross-breeding,  and  fertilization,  in  order  that  the  most  economical 
results  may  be  obtained.  These,  with  the  preceding,  necessarily  im-

ply  an  intimate  knowledge  of  both  botany  and  zoologjy,  especially  in 
their  economic  relations.  Now,  in  these  three  lines  of  study,  namely, 
the  knowledge  of  the  soil,  the  knowledge  of  the  laws  of  plant  life*, 
ihe  knowledge  of  the  laws  of  animal  life,  physics,  chemistry,  the 
physiology  and  pathology  of  plant  life,  and  the  physiology  and  path' 
ology  of  animal  life,  are  intimately  concerned  and  form  the  founda- 
tion of  the  education  of  an  intelligent  farmer. 

The  Agricultural  and  Mechanical  College,  though  it  has  been  in 
existence  for  years,  has  never  been  adequately  provided  with  build- 
ings and  equipments  for  rendering  agricultural  education  effective. 
W e have  done  the  best  we  could  with  the  meager  facilities  at  our  dis- 
posal, but  the  time  lias  now  come  when  it  is  imperative  that  larger! 
provisions,  on  a much  more  extended  scale,  should  be  made  for  in- 
struction in  agriculture,  in  horticulture,  and  in  stock  breeding,  than 
we  have  ever  had  hitherto.  The  farmers  of  Kentucky  pay  a large  pro- 
portion of  the  tax  levied  for  the  support  of  the  college  anid  are  in 
justice  entitled  to  corresponding  benefits  from  its  operations,  I 
therefore  believe  that  the  time  has  come  when  by  a united  effort  we 
should  endeavor  to  obtain  from  the  General)  Assembly  an  appropria- 
tion, generous  and  liberal,  for  the  erection  of  the  necessary  buildings 
and  for  their  proper  equipment  in  all  that  is  needed  for1  education 
along  agricultural  lines. 

Of  equal  importance  are  the  claims  of  the  teachers  of  Kentucky 
and  the  common  school  system  of  Kentucky  upon  the  State  College 
for  the  maintenance  of  a school  for  the  education  and  training  of 
teachers.  There  were,  T understand,  several  hundred  schools  last 
year,  within  the  State  of  Kentucky,  which  were  not  provided  with, 
teachers,  and  consequently,  were  not  kept  during  that  scholastic- 
period.  This  is  not  as  it  should  be.  The  State  College  has  for  yearsl 
been  doing  what  it  could  to*  maintain  a normal  school  of  reputable 
character  and  proportions.  It  has  done  the  best  it1  could  with  the 
means  at  its  disposal,  but  we  are  painfully  conscious  of  the  fact  that 
the  results  have  not  been  commensurate  with  our  wishes.  With  an 
independent  building,  and  a larger  educational  staff,  we  could  have 
benefited  the  Commonweal tli  to  a larger  extent.  Within  the  last 
twenty-five  years  the  assessed  valuation  of  Kentucky  has  more  than 
doubled.  The  facilities  for  the  instruction  and  training  of  teachers 
has  not,  within  the  Commonwealth,  kept  pace  with  the  correspond- 
ing growth  in  wealth  and  in  population.  It  now  seemsl  to  me  to  bej 
sn  opportune  time  to  redress  this  balance  and  to  make  application

STATE  COLLEGE  OF  KENTUCKY. 


to  the  incoming  General  Assembly  to  make  a liberal  appropriation 
for  the  erection  and  equipment  of  suitable  buildings  whereby  this 
work  so  auspiciously  begun,  may  be  carried  on  upon  a much  larger 
scale  than  we  have  been  able  to  do  heretofore.  The  general  intelli- 
gence of  the  people*  depends  upon  the  efficiency  of  the  common  schools. 
The  efficiency  of  the  common  schools  depends  upon  the  education  of 
the  teacher  ; this  latter  element  it  belongs  to  the  State  College  to 
supply.  Let  it  be  understood  that  the  State  College  does  not  stand 
in  the  way  of  a liberal  provision  for  schools  for  the  education  of  teach- 
ers elsewhere.  To  these  it  would  ever  be  ready  to  give  a helping  hand, 
but  the  school  for  training  teachers,  or  the  normal  school,  as  it  is  gen- 
erally called,  in  connection  with  the  State  College,  is  eo-eval  with 
its  re-organization,  and  should  be  maintained  and  supported  witli  a 
liberal  hand.  Give  us  the  means  by  which  to  educate  teachers  and 
to  make  education  effective,  and  we  will  be  able  to  do  a work  for 
the  public  at  large  out  of  all  proportion  to  what  we  have  hitherto 
done,  beneficent  though  it  has  been. 


DEVELOPMENT. 


The  growth  of  the  college  from  year  to  year  is  shown  in  the  fol- 
lowing summary : 

1862.  To  establish  and  endow  a college,  chiefly  for  instruction  in 
agriculture  and  the  mechanic  arts,  an  act:  of  Congress  apportioned 
to  each  State,  for  each  of  its  senators,  and  its  representatives  in 
Congress,  30,000  acres  of  its  public  land. 1 

I860.  The  General  Assembly  of  Kentucky,  having  accepted  the 
State’s  portion  under  the  conditions  > prescribed,  established  the  Agri- 
cultural and  Mechanical  College,  making  it  one  of  the  colleges  of 
Kentucky  University,  then  recently  united  with  Transylvania  Uni- 
versity and  located  at  Lexington,  citizens  of  Lexington  anidl  its  vicini- 
ty donating  1130,000  to  authorize  the  commission  of  the  curators  of 
the  university  to  buy  a site  for  the  college.  The  General  Assembly 
having  authorized  the  commissioners  of  the  sinking  fundi  to  sell  the 
330,000  acres  apportioned  to  Kentucky,  by  the  mismanagement  of 
the  commissioners’  agent  the  State  realized  for  its  land  only 
$165,000. 

1866.  The  college  opened  with  a president,  four  professors  and 
a commandant. 


STATE  COLLEGE  OF  KENTUCKY. 


IT 

1878.  Dissatisfied  with  the  management  of  the  college  by  the  cura- 
tors of  Kentucky  University,  who  were  engaged  in  a long  factional 
strife,  the  General  Assembly  severed  the  connection  with  the  univer- 
sity, and  called  a commission  to  re-locate  the  college,  to  provide  for 
its  continuance  in  operation  till  re-located,  and  to  prepare  “a  plan  for 
a first-class  university.”  Kentucky  University  claiming  and  retain- 
ing the  former  site. of  the  college,  the  sole  property  left  the  latter 
after  the  severance  was  an  income  of  $9,900  derived  from  the  land 
grant. 

1880.  The  city  of  Lexington  offering  the  city  park  of  fiftyttwo 
acres  as  a new  site  for  the  college,  and  also  $30,000  in  bonds,  and 
the  county  of  Fayette  offering  $20,000  besides,  the  General  Assem- 
bly ratified  the  selection  of  a site  made  by  a majority  of  the  commis- 
sion and!  located  the  college  permanently  in  Lexington. 

1880.  To  provide  teachers  for  the  common  schools',  of  the  State 
and  for  other  schools,  the  General  Assembly  added  to  the  college}  a 
normal  department  which  should  admit,  besides  other  students, 
one  from  each  representative  district  every  year  free  of  tuition. 

1880.  Further  to  endow  the  college  and  to  enable  it  to  purchase 
apparatus,  machinery,  implements  and  a library;  to  maintain  the 
normal  department,  and  to  defray  other  necessary  expenses,  the 
General  Assembly  imposed  a tax  of  one-half  cent  on  each  one  hun- 
dred dollars  of  the  assessed  value  of  all  property  in  the  State  liable 
to  taxation  for  State  revenue  and  belonging  to  its  white  inhabitants. 

1880.  The  classical  and  normal  departments  and  the  academy 
added. 

1882.  The  college  building,  the  first  dormitory  aind  the  president’s 
house  completed. 

1885.  The  commandant’s  house  re-constructed. 

1887.  To  enlarge  by  experiments  and  to  diffuse  the  knowledge  of 
agriculture,  an  act  of  Congress  established,  under  the  direction  of 
the  Agricultural  and  Mechanical  college  in  each  State,  an  Agricul- 
tural Experiment  Station,  appropriating  for  its  support  $15,000 
per  annum. 


DORMITORY  FOR  YOUNG  WOMEN. 

The  Legislatures  of  1900  and  1902  made  appropriations  amount- 
ing to  $60,000  for  the  erection  and  equipment  of  a college  homo 
for  young  women.  The  act  required  that  it  should  not  be  built 


18 


STATE  COLLEGE  OF  KENTUCKY. 


on  the  college  grounds  where  the  other  college  buildings  stand, 
but  upon  ground  altogether  outside  of  the  college  premises.  The 
Pepper  property,  after  long  and  tedious  negotiations,  was  ait  length 
secured,  for  which  $10,500  was  paid  in  cash.  The  property  wajs 
liable  for  unpaid  taxes  amounting  to  $1,260.  The  trustees  refused 
to  pay  them  and  the  negotiations  were  in  danger  of  falling  through 
when  the  president  of  the  college  and  his  brother,  W.  K.  Patterson, 
assumed  the  obligation  and  bound  themselve  in  writing  to  the  board 
of  trustees  to  hold  the  college  harmless  as  regards)  these  liens. 

After  the  purchase,  plans  and1  specifications  were  proposed1  and 
the  contract  let  for  the  building  with  accommodations  for  120 
young  women.  It  has  a front  of  one  hundred  and  fifty  feiet  with  tw;Q 
projecting  wings.  There  are  hath  rooms  and  water1  closets  on  eneryj 
floor,  electric  and  gas  lighting  arrangements  in  all  the  rooms  and 
halls;  laundry  room,  dining  room  and  hall  for  physical  culture  are 
all  large  and  equal  to  the  requirements  of  the  college  home. 

The  lot  is  a beautiful  one,  situated  within  half  a mile  of  the  court 
house  and  contains  three  acres  of  ground).  The  front  is  210  feel  and 
the  depth  600  feet.  Ample  shade  trees  and  a fine  elevation  make 
it  one  of  the  handsomest  sites  in  Lexington. 

There  are  some  lots  intervening  between  the  college  home!  and 
Winslow  street  which  bounds  the  college  campus  on  the  north,  which 
the  college  should  own.  The  time  is  not  far  distant  when  all  the  build- 
ing space  on  the  college  grounds  will  be  exhausted  and  sites  for  the 
additional  buildings  which  the  college  will  require  will,  he  difficult 
to  obtain. 

The  possession  of  these  intervening  lots  would  provide  additional 
building  sites  and  by  connecting  the  recently  purchased  site  with 
the  college  campus  would  give  continuity  to  the  whole.  We  think 
that  an  appropriation  hv  the  Legislature  for  this  purpose  would  be 
both  wise  and  economic. 

The  college  home,  to  which  the  name  of  “Patterson  Hall”  was  given 
by  the  building  committee,  is  now  completed1  ami  ready  for  occupancy 
and  will  supply  a want  long  felt  by  both  the  college  and  the  Com- 
monwealth. 

1887.  The  department  of  civil  engineering  established,  an  experi- 
mental farm  of  forty  acres  purchased  and  the  college  green-house 
built. 

1889.  The  Experiment  Station  building  completed. 

1890.  The  second  dormitory  completed. 


STATE  COLLEGE  OF  KENTUCKY.

1890.  For  “the  more  complete  endowment7’  of  Agricultural  and 
Mechanical  Colleges,  an  act  of  Congress  appropriated  to  each  State 
$15,000  per  annum  for  the  year  ending  June  30,  1890,  and  the  same 
sum  with  an  increase  of  $1,000  per  annum  for  ten  years,  after  which 
the  maximum  of  $25,000  should  continue  without  change.  Of  the 
amount  thus  annually  appropriated,  the  college  receives  85  per  cent, 
and  the  school  for  colored  people  at  Frankfort  15  per  cent. 

1891.  The  department  of  mechanical  engineering  established. 

1892.  The  mechanical  building  and  work-shops  completed, 

1891.  Green-houses  for  the  Experiment  Station  built. 

1895.  The  annex  to  the  mechanical  building  and  the  insectarium 
for  the  Station  built. 

1897.  The  department  of  electrical  engineering  established.  Ad- 
ditions made  to  the  green-houses  and  insectarium. 

1898.  The  building  for  natural  science  completed. 

1898.  Sixty -four  and  a half  acres  added  to  the  Experimental 
Farm,  making  113  in  all. 

1900.  Sixty  thousand  dollars  appropriated  by  the  General  As- 
sembly, for  a dormitory  for  young  women,  for  a gymnasium,  the 
drill  hall,  and  a hall  for  the  Y.  M.  C.  A. 

1901.  Ninety  acres  added  to  the  Experimental  Farm1,  making 
203  in  all.  The  building  erected  containing  the  gymnasium,  the 
drill  hall,  and  the  hall  for  the  societies,  and  Y.  M.  O.  A. 

1903.  College  home  for  young  women  built  by  an  appropriation 
of  $60,000  made  by  the  Legislatures  of  1900  and  1902. 

Increase  iri  property. — The  property  of  the  college  is  estimated 
to  be  worth  $600,000  more  than  it  wTas  in  1880. 

Increase  of  teachers. — Before  1880  the  college  had  six  profess- 
ors; it  now  has  sixteen  professors  and1  twenty-three  assistants. 

Increase  of  courses. — Before  1880  the  college  offered  a single 
course  of  study  leading  to  a degree;  it  now  offers  thirteen. 

Increase  of  students. — The  number  enrolled  during  the  session 
of  1898-99  was  about  480,  considerably  the  largest!  till  then  in  the 
history  of  the  college;  last  session  the  nuipber  was  503;  thlsl  ses- 
sion it  is  614. 

Increase  of  graduates. — No  fact  more  distinctly  marks  the  growth 
of ' the  college  than  the  increase  in  the  number  of  its  graduates. 
More ' students  were  graduated1  in  1902  than  were  graduated  in  the 
first  twenty-five  years,  and  the  number  of  those  graduated  during  the 
last  five  years  is  greater  than  that  of  the  first  thirty.

The  benefit  which  it  has  conferred  upon  the  Commonwealth  by 
the  education  of  her  sons  and  daughters  can  not  be  computed. 
From  comparatively  small  beginnings  it  has  grown  far  beyond'  the 
most  sianguine  expectations  of  its  founders.  During  this  period  its 
professors  and  instructors — those  engaged  in  teaching  and  those  oc- 
cupied in  investigation — have  increased  eightfold;  its  courses)  of 
study  in  like  proportion. 

Meanwhile  it  has  added  laboratories,  museums  and  workshops 
for  the  illustration  and  application  of  science;  provided  additional 
buildtngis  and  extended  its  sphere  of  operation,  theoretical  and  prac- 
tical, in  manifold  directions. 

Its  Experiment  Station  organized  for  the  benefit  of  the  farmers, 
with  its  farm  of  over  two  hundred  acres;  its  fine  herd  of  Jerseys;1 
its  department  of  animal  husbandry;  its  experiments  in  cereals, 
grasses,  fruits,  hemp  and  tobacco  (the  results  of  which  are  published 
for  gratuitous  distribution  among  agriculturists,  horticulturists 
and  fruit  growers  of  the  State)  is  the  best  south  of  the  Ohio  river. 

The  same  is  true  of  its  laboratories  and  museums — chemical,  phy- 
sical, botanical,  geological,  minera, logical,  anatomical,  biological, 
entomological,  mechanical,  electrical,  civil  and  mining  engineering. 

Its  engineering  courses,  measured  by  their  systems  of  instruction 
and  their  results,  are  equal  to  those  of  any  technical  school  in  the 
United  States. 

Graduates  in  engineering,  in  science,  in  classics,  in  pedagogy,  are 
in  such  demand  that  more  than  twice  the  number  of  alumni,  each 
year,  could  be  placed  at  once  in  positions  honorable  and  remunera- 
tive. 

The  State  College  of  Kentucky  is  now  well  abreast  of  the  other 
land-grant  colleges,  easily  first  south  of  the  Ohio  river  and  in  many 
respects  equal  to  the  best  in  the  Northwest,  although  its  income 
and  building  accommodations  are  far  behind  those  of  the  great 
States  north  and  wTest  of  us.  Ohio,  Indiana,  Illinois,  Wisconsin, 
Minnesota,  Missouri  and  Iowa  have  provided  buildings  for  their 
respective  institutions  at  a cost  far  surpassing  ours  and  supplied 
annual  income  from  three  to  six-fold  greater  than  that  at  our  com- 
mand. 

By  adequate  support  our  engineering  courses  of  study  will  supply 
a large  percentage  of  the  trained  engineers  required  in  the  South; 
and  our  scientific  courses  of  study  will  supply  a like  proportion  of 
scientific  experts  in  the  application  of  science  to  the  industrial  arts.

Now  is  a rare  opportunity  for  Kentucky  to  take  the  lead  in  the 
South  and  West  and  to  maintain  it. 

The  authorities  of  the  State  College  bring  these  facts  before  you 
with  pardonable  pride.  Its  growth  within  the  last  twenty-two  years 
surpasses  that  of  any  other  institution  in  Kentucky.  But  this  we 
hope  is  only  the  beginning  of  greater  things  yet  to  be.  If,  however, 
it  is  to  expand  in  the  future  as  it  has  grown  in  the  past,  the  State, 
realizing  its  necessities  and  its  opportunities,  must  foster  and  sus- 
tain it  with  no  niggardly  hand.  Income  has  not  kept  pace  with 
expansion  and  with  its  ever-growing  necessities.  The  income  from 
the  federal  government  accruing  from  the  proceeds  of  the  sale  of 
lands  donated  by  Congress  in  1862  and  from  the  appropriation  made 
under  the  Morrill  Act  of  1890  is  divided,  14 y2  per  cent,  being  given 
to  the  colored  normal  school  in  Frankfort.  In  most  of  the  other 
States  of  the  Union  these  incomes  in  their  entirety  are  given  to 
the  colleges  and  universities  organized  under  the  law  of  1862.  Our 
income  is  thus  diminished  to  the  extent  of  $5,060.50  each  year. 
Moreover,  the  income  of  the  college  from  the  one-half  cent  tax  im- 
posed in  1880  is  quite  inelastic  and  has  stood  at  practically  the  same 
figure  for  several  years  past. 

Matriculates  increase  in  numbers  every  year,  classes  grow  propor- 
tionately, new  courses  of  study  are  added  to  meet  the  needs  of  the 
public;  but  the  income  of  the  college  is  practically  at  a stand-still. 
A largely  increased  attendance  of  young  women  in  consequence  of 
the  completion  of  the  college  hall  for  boarding  and  lodging  young 
women  (for  the  erection  of  which  the  State  appropriated  $60,000) 
wTill  swell  our  numbers  beyond  all  precedent  and  emphasize  the  ne- 
cessity for  more  and  ampler  accommodations.  You  will  readily 
see  that  unless  the  educational  interests  of  the  State  as  represented 
in  the  State  college  are  provided  with  additional  means  for  expan- 
sion and  maintenance,  the  progress  qnd  growth  of  the  institution 
must  be  cut  short,  must  come  to  a stand  still,  must,  as  compared 
with  other  State  colleges,  relatively  decline. 

To  cease  to  go  forward  is  to  go  back.  No  State  institution  in 
all  the  Union  has  had  a steadier  and  a healthier  growth.  No  college 
has  graduated  abler  men  and  women.  If  the  progress  of  which  we 
are  all  so  proud  is  to  continue  we  must  have  more  means  and  the 
Commonwealth  is  our  only  source  of  supply.  The  college  will  ask 
the  Legislature,  of  which  you  will  be  a member,  for  money  for  the 
erection  of  additional  and  much-needed  buildings.  It  will  also  ask 


22 


STATE  COLLEGE  OF  KENTUCKY. 


for  a substantial  addition  to  its  income  in  order  that  it  may  be  able 
to  meet  growing  expenditure. 

The  State  college  is  the  child  of  the  Commonwealth;  it  appeals 
to  your  protection;  to  your  intelligence;  to  your  interests,  and  to 
your  pride  to  sustain  it  with  no  niggardly  hand. 

The  State  is  rich  in  actual  resources;  richer  far  in  potential  re- 
sources which  the  State  College  is  a potent  factor  in  developing. 
The  State,  moreover,  is  now  quite  free  from  debt;  the  movement 
seems  auspicious  for  the  exercise  of  a generous  liberality  to  enable 
your  college  to  grow  and  expand  and  become  a still  greater  power 
for  good  in  Kentucky.  To  you  it  appeals ; to  you  it  stretches  forth 
its  hands.  Make  it  all  it  ought  to  be,  and  this  and  future  genera- 
tions will  accord  to  you  your  meed  of  honor. 

NECESSITIES. 

1.  An  appropriation  for  the  extension  and  further  equipment  of 
the  department  of  mechanical,  civil  and  electrical  engineering. 

2.  An  appropriation  for  the  erection  and  equipment  of  a building 
for  mining  engineering  and  physics. 

3.  An  appropriation  for  the  erection  and  equipment  of  a building 
for  the  use  of  the  normal  department  and  the  academy. 

4.  An  appropriation  for  the  erection  and  equipment  of  an  agri- 
cultural building. 

We  have  now  sketched  the  history  of  the  college,  and  in  the  fol- 
lowing section  have  presented  its  organization  by  departments  and 
courses  of  study.  Reports  of  departments  appended  and  made  a 
part  of  this  report  show  the  work  done  in  kind  and  in  degree.  We 
have  exhibited  its  marvelous  growth  and  development;  how  setting 
out  from  small  beginnings  it  has  grown  to  its  present  proportions. 
We  have  shown  that  it  must  advance  pari  passu  with  its  sister  col- 
leges and  universities;  that  to  stand  still  is  to  lose  ground  and  be 
left  like  the  moraine  of  a glacier  while  the  mighty  mass  moves 
silently  and  resistlessly  on.  We  have  shown  what  other  States  are 
doing  and  that  even  with  our  meagre  resources  none  of  them  turn 
out  better  men  than  we. 

We  have  called  attention  to  the  teeming  resources  and  boundless 
wealth  of  Kentucky  awaiting  the  engineer  to  make  them  available, 
and  finally  we  appeal  to  your  honor  and  good  faith  pledged  to  the 
general  government,  to  your  State  pride,  to  your  intelligent  self- 


STATE  COLLEGE  OF  KENTUCKY.

interest  to  maintain  and  sustain  your  State  college  in  a spirit 
worthy  your  traditions,  worthy  your  history,  worthy  the  sires  from 
whose  loins  you  came.  We  build,  our  descendants  will  inhabit;  we 
plant,  they  will  reap;  let  us  remember  our  lineage  and  praise  the 
fathers  who  begat  us  by  doing  their  work  as  they  would  do. 

Let  us  foster  and  maintain  a great  institution  whose  beacon  light 
will  be  seen  from  afar  over  hill  and  valley  and  plain,  east  and  west, 
north  and  south,  throughout  all  this  broad  land  of  ours. 

We  are,  with  great  respect, 

Your  obedient  servants,

Patterson  Hall. 


This  Hall,  a home  for  the  young  women  of  the  College,  is  a large  and 
handsome  three-story  structure  of  about  a hundred  and  fifty  feet  front,  built 
on  a fine  site  of  more  than  three  acres  lying  along  the  electric  railway  on 
South  Limestone  street.  Within  a quarter  of  a mile  of  the  College  on  the 
south,  a half  mile  of  the  Court  House,  the  Phoenix  Hotel  and  the  Post-office} 
on  the  north,  and  distant  not  more  than  ten  minutes  by  rail  from  the  principal 
churches  of  the  city,  Patterson  Hall  is,  for  all  purposes,  admirably  located. 
The  building  is  heated  by  steam,  lighted  by  gas  and  electricity,  and  supplied 
with  the  purest  of  water.  It  has  a roomy  front  porch  of  12  by  70  feet,  wide 
halls,  a closet  in  every  bed  room, and  thirteen  bath  rooms.  With  walks,  drives 
and  numerous  old  forest  trees,  the  spacious  front  lawn  is  an  inviting  place  for 
exercise,  for  which  ample  provision  has  also  been  made  on  the  extensive 
grounds  with  a tennis  court  in  the  rear,  as  well  as  in  the  large  gymnasium. 

Sixty-two  commodious  and  well-furnished  rooms  afford  accommodation  for 
a hundred  and  twenty-four  occupants,  for  whom  the  careful  and  judicious 
matron  will  provide  lodging  free,  and  excellent  beard  for  $3  a week,  the  in- 
mates furnishing  their  own  napkins  and  towels,  and  their  own  bedding,  except 
mattresses  and  pillows,  and  paying  their  laundry  bills. 

Built  durably  of  sitone,  brick,  wood  and  iron,  and  made  practically  fire- 
proof, at  a cost  of  $60,000,  with  adequate  provision  for  heat,  light,  ventilation, 
bathing  and  exercise,  this  Hall  offers  all  the  comforts  and  conveniences  of  a 
well-appointed  home. 

County  appointees  are  first  supplied  with  rooms,  and  these,  by  act  of  the 
Legislature,  are  assigned  by  lot. 

Probably  no  educational  institution  in  the  South  affords  a more  attractive 
home  for  young  women;  and  those  who  are  favored  with  a county  appoint- 
ment, the  mode  of  obtaining  which  is  set  forth  elsewhere  in  this  catalogue, 
will  find  that  residence  at  the  State  College  is  brought  within  the  means  of  any 
young  woman  who  earnestly  desires  to  fit  herself  for  a life  of  usefulness.

Courses  of  Study. 


1.  DEPARTMENT  OF  HISTORY,  POLITICAL  ECONOMY,  A ND 

METAPHYSICS . 

PRESIDENT  PATTERSON. 

The  course  of  instruction  in  this  Department  includes  an  outline  of  Ancient. 
Medieval,  and  Modern  History.  Attention  is  given  to  the  various  forms  of 
government,  their  characteristic  features  andl  points  of  difference;  to  the 
progress  of  civilization,  the  origin  and  development  of  parliamentary  govern- 
ment, the  rights  and  duties  of  citizenship. 

In  the  period  covered,  Modern  History  and  the  History  of  England  and  of 
the  United  States  occupy  the  most  prominent  place. 

Walker’s  Science  of  Wealth  is  made  the  basis  of  instruction  in  Political 
Economy.  Students  are,  however,  made  familiar  with  the  principles  upon  which 
rest  the  rival  doctrines  of  Protection  and  Free  Trade. 


STATE  COLLEGE  OF  KENTUCKY.

The  Study  of  Mental  and  Moral  Philosophy  extends  through  one  year.  Sir 
William  Hamilton  is  used  as  the  basis  of  instruction  in  Metaphysics,  and 
Mackenzie  in  Ethics.  Concurrently  with  recitations  from  these  authorities,  the 
pupil  is  made  familiar  with  the  principles  upon  which  rival  systems  of  philoso- 
phy and  morals  are  based,  and  the  arguments  by  which  they  are  maintained. 
Ancient  and  modern  systems  are  thus  brought  under  review,  and  the  necessary 
data  furnished  upon  which  to  ground  intelligent  opinions. 


II.  DEPARTMENT  OF  AGRICULTURE , HORTICULTURE , AND 

BOTANY. 

PROFESSOR  MATHEWS. 

This  Department  occupies  rooms  on  the  first  floor  of  the  Natural  Science 
Building,  including  a general  laboratory,  a lecture  room  and  advanced  labora- 
tory, and  an  instructor’s  office. 

Each  laboratory  is  suitably  furnished  with  tables,  water  and  gas  fixtures, 
charts,  etc.,  and  the  lecture  room  with  opera  chairs,  a sltereopticon,  etc.  The 
further  equipment,  both  for  elementary  work  and  for  the  use  of  advanceid 
students,  is  new  and  of  the  best  quality,  and  includes  an  ample  supply  of  com- 
pound and  dissecting  microscopes  for  the  individual  use  of  each  student,  several 
fiTst-clasis  microtomes,  ovens  and  sterilizing  apparatus,  together  with  delicate 
balances  and  other  apparatus  for  the  study  of  plant  physiology. 

Among  ether  facilities  for  study,  the  Department  possesses  ai  greenhouse 
(85x20  feet),  giving  an  opportunity  for  the  continuous  study  of  living  plants 
throughout  the  winter  months,  and  for  experiment  work  in  plant  physiology. 

The  herbarium  contains  a nearly  complete  representation  of  the  flora  of 
Kentucky,  with  a considerable  number  of  foreign  exchanges.  It  is  due  primari- 
ly to  the  efforts  of  the  late  Dr.  Robert  Peter,  who  made  a,  quite  extensive 
collection  of  Kentucky  plants  about  sixty  years  ago,  and  also  exchanged  speci- 
mens with  the  prominent  botanists  of  that  day,  thus  forming  the  nucleus  of 
the  present  collection,  which  therefore  possesses  considerable  historic  value. 
Constant  additions  are  now  being  made  to  the  herbarium  by  collecting  ex- 
cursions over  the  State  and  by  exchanges  with  other  institutions. 

The  Department  Library  is  receiving  constant  accessions  of  carefully  se- 
lected books,  and  already  contains  the  most  important  botanical  and  horticul- 
tural works  of  reference,  and  these,  as  well  as  the  best  current  literature  upon 
these  subjects,  are  available  to  students  during  college  hours. 

For  the  study  of  horticulture  and  agriculture,  many  of  the  appliances,  al- 
ready mentioned  are  again  utilized,  and  in  addition  to  the  complete  equipment 
of  the  Experiment  Station  incidentally  afford  superior  opportunities  for  the 
instruction  of  students. 

The  Horticultural  Department  of  the  Station  has  an  excellent  forcing  and 
greenhouse  plant  upon  the  College  grounds,  consisting  of  four  glass  houses  of 
the  most  approved  methods  of  construction,  containing  4,000  square  feet  of 
glass,  in  addition  to  hot-beds  and  cold  frames  outside.  These  houses  are  run 
to  their  full  capacity  through  the  winter  months  in  the  conduct  of  experiments

STATE  COLLEGE  OF  KENTUCKY. 


upon  the  culture  of  lettuce,  radishes,  tomatoes,  cauliflower  and  other  vegetables, 
and  upon  the  various  methods  of  plant  propagation. 

The  extensive  list  of  varieties  of  vegetables  and  fruits  growing  upon  the 
Experiment  Farm  gives  an  opportunity  for  a comparative  study  of  varieties 
rarely,  if  ever,  found  upon  the  ordinary  farm. 

The  College  campus  contains  a large  number  of  ornamental  trees  and  shrubs, 
and  numerous  varieties  of  annual  and  perennial  flowering  plants,  and  with 
other  public  grounds  in  Lexington  affords  ample  facilities  for  the  study  of 
ornamental  and  landscape  horticulture. 

In  the  distinctively  agricultural  studies  the  operations  of  the  farm  depart- 
ment of  the  Experiment  Station  furnish  an  excellent  opportunity  for  the 
study  of  the  effects  of  various  fertilizers,  varieties  of  whe|at,  corn,  and  other1 
field  crops,  and  the  many  problems  of  dairying. 

In  order  to  give  special  attention  to  dairy  experiments,  a building  has  been 
erected  upon  the  Station  Farm  and  fully  equipped  with  the  most  modern  appli- 
ances for  the  care  of  milk  and  the  manufacture  of  butter  and  cheese. 

All  these  facilities  for  the  experiment  work  of  the  Station,  while  primarily 
designed  for  that  purpose,  can  not  fail  to  be  of  the  greatest  value  as;  object 
lessons  in  connection  with  the  studies  of  pupils  in  agriculture. 

The  general  subjects  comprised  within  the  scope  of  this  department  are 
subdivided  as  follows: 


I.  ELEMENTARY  BOTANY. 

Required  of  all  students  of  the  Scientific,  Normal,  and  Agricultural  courses 
who  have  not  completed  a corresponding  course  in  some  preparatory  school. 

Spring  Term — This  coarse  consists  of  a study  of  the  elements  of  struc- 
tural botany  and  .plant  physiology,  with  determination  of  a number  of  species 
of  the  flowering  plants.  It  corresponds  to  the  work  done  in  most  of  the 
high  schools  in  the  State,  and,  if  satisfactory  evidence  is  presented,  by  exam- 
ination or  otherwise,  that  such  a course  has  been  completed  before  entering 
the  College,  the  student  will  be  admitted  directly  to  the  general  botany 
of  the  Sophomore  Class. 

Text-books  and  Books  of  Reference:  Gray’s  Lessons  and  Manual  of  Botany; 
Bailey’s  Lessons  with  Plants;  Bergen’s  Elements  of  Botany. 

II.  GENERAL  BOTANY. 

Required  of  all  Sophomores  in  the  Scientific,  Normal,  and  Agricultural 
courses. 

Fall  and  Winter  Terms — The  work  of  the  course  comprises  a gen- 
eral survey  of  the  morphology  and  physiology  of  plants,  and  is  designed 
to  give  the  student  who  goes  no  further  with  the  subject  a comprehensive 
view  of  the  entire  vegetable  kingdom,  while  for  the  student  who  will  con- 
tinue his  botanical  study  it  is  intended  to  afford  a substantial  basis  for  more 
exhaustive  special  studies.  While  it  is  accompanied  with  lectures  and  reci- 
tations, the  laboratory  method  is  the  form  of  instruction  principally  used. 


STATE  COLLEGE  OF  KENTUCKY.

and  from  the  very  beginning  of  his  work  the  pupil  is  directed  to  the  study 
of  plants  themselves,  using  the  text-book  as  an  aid  to  correct  his  mistakes 
and  to  enlarge  his  field  of  view.  He  is  early  instructed  in  the  use  of  the 
compound  and  dissecting  microscopes,  and  with  their  aid  he  begins  in  the 
Fall  term  the  study  of  the  simplest  forms  of  the  vegetable  kingdom. 

Text-books:  Coulter’s  Plant  Structure,  supplemented  by  directions  in  the  lab- 
oratory and  by  numerous  standard  works  of  reference. 

III.  SYSTEMATIC  BOTANY. 

Required  of  Sophomores  who  elect  Geology,  Zoology,  Anatomy  and  Phy- 
siology, Botany,  or  Agriculture  as  a major  study. 

Spring  Term — The  principal  feature  of  this  course  is  the  taxonomy  and 
classification  of  the  ferns  and  flowering  plants,  with  special  reference  to 
those  groups  which  are  of  economic  importance. 


IV.  PLANT  HISTOLOGY  AND  ECONOMIC  BOTANY. 

Required  of  Juniors  who  elect  Botany  or  Agriculture  as  major  study. 

Fall  Term — In  Economic  Botany,  which  is  assigned  for  Tuesdays  and 
Thursdays,  a thorough  study  is  made  of  selected  families  of  plants,  with 
regard  to  their  characteristics,  distribution,  habitat,  economic  importance, 
etc.  In  Histology  the  student  is  given  instruction  and  training  in  collodion, 
paraffin,  and  other  methods  of  preparing  vegetable  tissues  for  microscopic 
study,  accompanied  and  followed  by  a study  of  the  slides  so  prepared. 

Text-book:  Chamberlain’s  Methods  in  Plant  Histology. 


V.  PLANT  PHYSIOLOGY. 

Required  of  Juniors  who  elect  Botany  or  Agriculture. 

Spring  Term — The  course  is  conducted  by  lectures  and  laboratory  ex- 
periments, which  aim  to  bring  to  the  student  a clear  conception  of  the  main 
facts  and  principles  of  plant  physiology,  and  naturally  supplements  the 
histological  studies  of  the  Fall  Term. 

To  a considerable  extent  the  laboratory  experiments  are  carried  on  in 
the  College  greenhouses. 

Text-books:  The  laboratory  manuals  of  Ganong  and  Macdougal. 

VI.  THESIS. 

The  first  term  of  the  Senior  year  is  devoted  to  the  study  of  some  special 
subject,  selected  with  reference  to  the  taste  and  abilities  of  the  students,  as 
a preliminary  to  the  preparation,  during  the  winter  and  spring  terms,  of  a 
thesis  for  graduation.

STATE  COLLEGE  OF  KENTUCKY. 


VII.  HORTICULTURE. 

Required  in  the  Agricultural  Course.  The  work  in  this  subject  begins 
in  January  of  the  Junior  year  and  extends  through  two  terms.  The  time 
allotted  to  the  subject  is  divided  between  lectures,  recitations,  and  actual 
practice  in  horticultural  operations,  special  prominence  being  given  to  the 
latter  feature  of  the  course. 

In  the  lectures  are  discussed  the  principles  underlying  horticultural 
practices;  the  propagation  of  plants;  the  physiological  consideration  upon 
which  are  based  the  operations  of  budding,  grafting,  pruning,  training,  etc.; 
greenhouses,  their  construction,  heating,  and  management;  and  vegetable, 
fruit,  and  landscape  gardening.  In  connection  with  the  lectures,  the  work 
in  the  greenhouses  and  upon  the  college  and  experimental  grounds  is  freely 
used  for  illustrative  purposes,  and  occasional  visits  are  made  to  the  green- 
houses, nurseries,  market  and  fruit  gardens  in  or  near  Lexington. 

In  the  practical  part  of  his  studies  the  pupil  is  not  only  taught  the  best 
methods  of  doing  his  work,  but  is  encouraged  to  seek  for  the  principles  that 
make  such  methods  best.  He  performs  for  himself  the  various  operations 
of  seed  testing  and  seed  sowing;  propagation  by  cutting,  layering,  division, 
etc.;  budding,  grafting,  crossing,  hybridizing,  and  other  forms  of  horticul- 
tural practice. 

In  order  to  make  this  work  of  the  highest  value  to  the  student,  he  is 
required  throughout  the  course  to  make  accurate  observations  and  careful 
notes  upon  his  progress,  and  upon  the  results  of  these  processes. 


VIII.  GENERAL  AGRICULTURE. 

Required  of  Juniors  in  the  Agricultural  Course. 

The  subject  is  taught  by  means  of  lectures  and  text-books,  accompanied 
by  practical  and  illustrative  exercises  when  the  subject  and  weather  will 
permit. 

The  course  as  presented  here  is  divided  into  two  general  heads.  *8oils 
and  Field  Crops,  and  the  instruction  is  given  mainly  by  Prof.  J.  N.  Harper, 
of  the  Agricultural  Experiment  Station. 

The  lectures  on  soils  include  a discussion  of  the  physical  properties  of 
soils  and  their  improvement  by  cultivation,  fertilization,  etc.;  the  relation  of 
soils  to  heat,  air  and  moisture;  soil  water,  its  movement  through  different 
kinds  of  soils;  the  influence  of  humus,  the  conservation  of  soil  moisture, 
and  drainage. 

In  the  general  subject  of  Field  Crops,  lectures  are  given  upon  the  his- 
tory, production,  cultivation,  fertilizers,  rotations,  varieties  and  harvesting 
of  Kentucky  farm  crops,  particularly  tobacco,  wheat,  corn,  and  hemp. 

*For  the  year  1903-4  the  instruction  on  this  subject  was  supplemented  by  a 
special  course  of  lectures,  with  laboratory  and  field  demonstrations,  continued 
through  the  month  of  January,  by  Mr.  Clarence  W.  Dorsey,  of  the  Bureau  of 
Soils,  U.  S.  Department  of  Agriculture,  under  special  appointment  of  the  Secretary 
of  Agriculture,  James  Wilson. 


STATE  COLLEGE  OF  KENTUCKY.

IX.  ANIMAL  HUSBANDRY. 

The  instruction  under  this  general  subject  is  given  in  the  form  of  lec- 
tures, demonstrations,  and  practical  laboratory  exercises,  by  Prof.  D.  W. 
May,  of  the  Experiment  Station.  It  includes  a study  of  the  principles  of 
stock  feeding,  stock  judging,  breeds  of  live  stock,  and  the  operations  of  the 
dairy.  In  each  of  these  subdivisions  ihe  lectures  are  supplemented  as  far  as 
possible  by  practical  work  upon  the  part  of  the  student. 

For  the  study  of  stock  breeding,  and  kindred  subjects,  the  location  of 
the  College  is  exceptionally  favorable,  situated  as  it  is  in  the  center  of  the 
Bluegrass  region  of  Kentucky,  with  its  numerous  herds  of  high-bred  horses, 
to  which  occasional  visits  are  made  as  opportunity  offers. 

The  live  stock  upon  the  Experiment.  Station  farm,  together  with  the 
various  experiments  in  progress  in  feeding,  dairying  and  in  other  directions, 
affords  facilities  for  illustrative  purposes. 

THE  COURSE  OF  AGRICULTURE. 

The  distinctive  feature  of  this  course  is  the  instruction  in  those  branches 
of  study  which  bear  the  most  direct  and  practical  relation  to  agricultural 
pursuits.  It  includes  as  subjects  of  primary  importance  the  study  of  Gen- 
eral and  Agricultural  Chemistry,  General  Zoology  and  Entomology,  Botany, 
Horticulture,  Geology,  and  General  Agriculture. 

In  addition  to  these  subjects,  the  student  devotes  considerable  time  to 
the  work  of  other  departments,  including  a year  in  English  and  Mathemat- 
ics, courses  in  Drawing,  French,  and  German,  Physiology,  Physics  and 
Political  Economy. 

To  meet  the  needs  of  young  men  who  for  any  reason  can  not  hope  to 
complete  a four  years’  course  in  Agriculture,  a special  course  of  two  years 
has  been  arranged. 

This  course  includes  all  of  the  more  distinctively  agricultural  subjects 
of  the  full  course,  but  does  not  lead  to  a degree.  A certificate  of  proficiency 
will,  however,  be  issued  to  those  students  who  complete  the  studies  of  the 
entire  course  in  a satisfactory  manner. 

The  schedule  of  studies  for  this  course  will  be  found  on  another  page. 
(See  “Schedule  of  Studies.”) 

THE  SHORT  (WINTER)  COURSE  IN  AGRICULTURE. 

In  this  course  an  opportunity  has  been  provided  for  young  men  who 
desire  to  excel  in  their  chosen  occupation  of  farming  to  secure  an  element- 
ary knowledge  of  those  scientific  principles  which  lie  at  the  foundation  of 
all  success  in  agriculture.  In  order  that  such  a course  of  study  may  not 
interfere  with  the  work  of  the  busy  season  upon  Kentucky  farms,  it  begins 
in  January,  immediately  after  the  Christmas  recess,  and  continues  for  ten 
weeks.  Its  aim  is  to  give  to  ambitious  young  farmers  accurate  and  practical 
information  on  such  important  topics  as  manures  and  commercial  fertilizers; 
agricultural  chemistry;  soils  and  their  origin;  plant  life  on  the  farm;  vege- 


42 


STATE  COLLEGE  OF  KENTUCKY. 


table  and  fruit  growing;  diseases  of  plants;  injurious  insects;  the  principles- 
of  veterinary  science,  and  the  treatment  of  the  simpler  ailments  of  farm 
animals;  care  and  feeding  of  live  stock;  the  dairy  cow;  milk  and  the  manu- 
facture of  butter  and  cheese. 

In  such  subjects  as  will  permit  it,  actual  practice  will  be  given  in  the 
manipulation  of  materials  and  Appliances  of  study,  such  as  the  care  of  milk, 
practical  butter-making,  spraying  plants  for  injurious  insects  and  diseases^ 
and  in  horticulture  the  practices  of  seed-sowing,  pruning  and  training, 
grafting,  etc. 

This  course  affords  to  young  men  on  farms,  whose  time  and  means  are 
limited,  an  opportunity  to  utilize  the  winter  months  to  the  highest  possible 
advantages  by  fitting  themselves  more  thoroughly  for  their  life-work. 

No  examinations  are  required  for  admission  to  this  course,  the  only 
requirements  being  that  the  applicant  must  be  of  good  moral  character, 
must  have  had  a good  common  school  education,  and  be  at  least  sixteen 
years  of  age,  or  preferably  somewhat  older,  to  profit  fully  by  this  course. 

To  residents  of  Kentucky,  instruction  in  this  course  will  be  free,  the 
only  expense  being  the  cost  of  a few  books  and  other  necessary  incidentals, 
together  with  board  and  room  and  other  personal  expenses.  Board  and  a 
room  can  be  secured  at  prices  varying  at  from  three  to  five  dollars  per  week, 
so  that  the  total  expenses  of  a student  during  his  entire  ten  weeks’  stay 
need  not  exceed  from  thirty-five  to  fifty  dollars. 

Further  information  regarding  this  course  may  be  obtained  by  addressing  Pres- 
ident Patterson  or  Professor  Mathews,  at  the  College. 


III.  DEPARTMENT  OF  ENGLISH. 

PROFESSOR  MACKENZIE. 

The  course  in  the  English  language  and  literature  is  perhaps  as  thorough 
and  comprehensive  as  the  financial  limitations  of  the  College  will  permit. 
The  training  is  of  such  a nature  as  to  promote  individuality,  and  to  this  end 
occasional  work  is  done  in  journalism,  short-story  writing,  etc.  . For  the 
pioneer,  few  fields  seem  so  fascinating  as  that  which  Posnett  calls  Compara- 
tive Literature.  Literary  criticism  is  but  a branch  of  anthropology,  and  in 
attempting  to  trace  the  evolution  of  literature  several  laws  are  tentatively 
formulated.  Possibly  in  the  class  lectures  the  booklover  may  find  some 
suggestions  new  enough  and  true  enough  to  quicken  both  reason  and  imag- 
ination. 

The  Carnegie  Institution  was  intended  to  be  an  impartial  friend  of  all 
studies  that  tend  to  interpret  nature  to  man  and  man  to  himself,  but  as  at 
present  organized  no  grant  is  to  be  made  for  original  research  in  art,  litera- 
ture or  philology.  Philology  is  a science  that  gives  opportunities  for  further 
research,  though  there  is  no  occasion  to  impair  breadth  of  vision  by  excess- 
ive application  to  the  microscope.  Paul,  Brugmann  and  Wundt  are  consid- 
ered with  some  discrimination. 


STATE  COLLEGE  OF  KENTUCKY. 


43 


FRESHMAN  YEAR. 

First  Term — Literature  of  the  Nineteenth  Century,  English  and  Ameri- 
can. A critical  and  philosophical  study  of  some  of  the  masters — books  as 
interpreters  of  life — underlying  unity  of  poetry  and  the  fine  arts — letter- 
writing, its  history  and  mystery.'  Lectures  on  advanced  rhetoric. 

Second  Term — Lectures  on  Carlyle  and  some  of  his  European  and  Ameri- 
can contemporaries.  As  a basis  for  further  appreciation  of  literature  and 
rhetoric,  one  of  this  modern  seer’s  works,  such  as  Past  and  Present,  or 
Heroes  and  Hero-worship,  is  studied. 

Third  Term — Two  or  more  plays  of  Shakespeare,  Ben  Jonson  or  Gold- 
smith. Lectures  on  the  Drama  and  its  technique,  both  ancient  and  modern. 

Throughout  the  session  training  is  given  in  the  writing  and  criticism  of 
letters  and  essays,  which  are  frequent  rather  than  long.  Stress  is  laid  upon 
the  cultivation  of  a style  in  composition  that  shall  be  at  once  accurate, 
strong,  and  graceful. 


SOPHOMORE  YEAR. 

English  Literature  of  the  Seventeenth  and  Eighteenth  Centuries,  in  alter- 
nate years,  including  the  late  Renaissance,  Puritan,  Restoration,  Augustan 
and  Georgian  periods.  In  addition  to  the  “gay  science,”  the  Shakespeare- 
Bacon  and  Ossianic  controversies  claim  attention.  Lectures  on  the  relation, 
of  literature  to  art,  criticism,  ethics,  and  the  sciences,  in  order  to  throw 
light  on  the  solidarity  and  scope  of  literature.  Theme-writing  and  etymology 
are  not  neglected. 


JUNIOR  YEAR. 

First  Term— English  literary  history  from  the  Norman  Conquest  to 
Spenser.  Readings  in  Middle  English  as  found  in  the  interesting  and  valu- 
able works  of  Thomas  the  Rhymer  (1220-1298),  Barbour,  Androw  of  Wyn- 
toun,  and  Henry  the  Minstrel,  all  of  whom  are  independent  of  Chaucer. 

In  alternate  years  such  medieval  gems  as  are  linked  with  the  names  of 
James  I,  Henryson,  Dunbar,  and  Douglas  (1474-1522). 

Second  Term — Introduction  to  Comparative  Literature.  Some  clues  to 
a general  theory  of  literary  evolution  from  the  days  of  primitive  man.  Can 
one  principle  be  found  that  will  account  for  the  growth  and  decay  of  definite 
literary  types — epic,  dramatic,  lyric— in  all  times  and  climes?  Can  the 
strictly  scientific  method  lead  to  safe  speculation  upon  the  future  of  litera- 
ture? 

Third  Term — History  of  the  English  language;  lectures  on  the  origin 
of  the  English  language,  its  Celtic,  Teutonic,  and  classical  elements,  and  its 
inflexions,  with  a glance  at  the  way  in  which  some  words  are  raised  to  the 
peerage  while  others  fall  into  disrepute.  The  psychology  of  persuasion  is 
explained,  and  a distinction  is  drawn  between  the  English  of  the  newspaper, 
the  novel,  the  pulpit,  the  bar,  and  the  public  platform.  The  principles  of 
versification  are  briefly  illustrated. 


44 


STATE  COLLEGE  OF  KENTUCKY. 


Students  who  elect  Anglo-Saxon  receive  instruction  in  the  parts  of  speech 
and  in  syntax,  after  which  selections  are  read  from  Bede’s  History,'  King 
Alfred’s  Translations  from  Boethius  and  Orosius,  and  from  the  verse  of 
Beowulf.  The  close  relationship  of  Anglo-Saxon  to  our  current  speech  is 
constantly  kept  in  view,  and  Grimm’s  Law,  with  Verner’s  modification,  is 
explained.  Original  research  and  independence  of  thought  are  fostered. 


SENIOR  YEAR. 

Anglo-Saxon — Advanced  students  take  up  and  study  with  some  thor

of  the  Arthurian  legends  and  romances.  3.  Early  Scottish  literature,  from 
Barbour  (1375)  to  George  Buchanan  (1582),  including  Dunbar,  Gavin  Doug- 
las, and  Lindsay,  or,  4.  Such  a topic  as  may  obtain  the  sanction  of  the 
Professor  of  English,  any  one  as  a minor  study.  Candidates  for  the  degree 
of  A.  M.  (major  study,  English)  are  advised  to  take  Gothic  and  any  other 
study  they  may  choose  from  the  foregoing  list.  Without  a previous  knowl- 
edge of  Anglo-Saxon,  the  study  of  Gothic  is  not  recommended. 

Gothic. — A course,  especially  for  those  who  desire  to  know  English  his- 
torically, in  the  Moeso-Gothic  and  its  phonological  relations  both  to  early 
Aryan  and  to  later  Gothic  or  Teutonic  languages.  Initiation  into  some  of 
the  mysteries  of  Anglo-Saxon,  Norse,  and  Gothic  runes,  followed  by  a brief 
discussion  of  the  3x8  formulation  of  the  futhark. 

Seminar.  Old  English  Legal  Codes. — A special  course  interesting  alike- 
to  the  prospective  law  student,  the  philomath,  and  the  jurist.  If  deemed

IV.  DEPARTMENT  OF  MILITARY  SCIENCE. 

LIEUTENANT  BUBTT. 

The  military  instruction  is  under  the  charge  of  an  officer  of  the  United 
States  Army.  The  course  as  a whole  has  special  reference  to  the  duties  of 
the  line.  A full  supply  of  arms  and  ammunition  is  furnished  by  the  Was- 
Department  for  the  use  of  the  cadets  in  this  course. 

Every  male  student  able  to  perform  military  duty,  and  not  excused  for 
sufficient  cause,  is  required  to  drill  twice  each  week  and  to  attend  the  re- 
quired lectures  and  recitations  throughout  the  Freshman  and  Sophomore 
years.  The  standings  in  study  and  drill  are  placed  on  record,  and  are 
requisite  to  graduation  in  every  course  in  the  College. 

The  battalion  is  composed  of  four  companies  and  the  artillery  and  signal 
detachments.  The  officers  are  usually  selected  from  the  Junior  class  and 
the  non-commissioned  officers  from  the  Sophomore  class.  The  officers  are 
paid  a small  sum  for  their  services. 

The  uniform  prescribed  is  of  cadet  gray;  coat,  trimmed  with  black 
mohair  braid;  trousers,  with  black  cloth  stripe,  cut  after  the  army  pattern. 
In  order  that  all  uniforms  worn  here  may  be,  in  quality,  make  and  finish, 
in  strict  accordance  with  the  specifications  adopted  by  the  College,  all  stu- 
dents enrolled  in  the  military  department  are  required  to  obtain  them  from 
the  firm  only  that  may  for  the  time  being,  be  under  agreement  to  furnistt 
said  uniforms  at  a stated  price  and  of  standard  quality.

V.  DEPARTMENT  OF  CHEMISTRY . 

PROFESSOR  PALMER. 

The  Chemical  Department  dates  from  the  establishment  of  the  institu- 
tion. For  many  years  it  was  under  the  direction  of  Dr.  Robert  Peter,  who 
by  his  labors  in  analytical  chemistry  has  probably  done  more  than  any  other 
man  to  develop  the  abundant  mineral  resources  of  the  State.  The  Depart- 
ment remained  in  the  hands  of  Dr.  Peter  until  1887,  when  he  resigned.  Dr. 
E.  A.  Yon  Schweinitz  was  then  appointed  to  the  vacancy.  He  held  the 
position  during  the  collegiate  year  of  1887-1888,  whereupon  the  present  in- 
cumbent was  appointed.  For  many  years  the  chemical  laboratories  and 
lecture-room  occupied  the  eastern  part  of  the  main  College  building.  In 
September,  1880,  however,  the  Department  Station  building  having  been 
•completed,  the  apparatus  and  equipment  were  removed  from  the  laboratories 
in  the  Main  Building  to  more  suitable  and  beautiful  rooms  on  the  second 
floor  of  the  Experiment  Station  building.  The  lecture-room  and  the  labo- 
ratories, qualitative  and  quantitative,  of  the  Chemical  Department  are  ex- 
ceedingly well  adapted  to  their  purpose  and  are  among  the  best  constructed 
and  most  handsomely  furnished  of  the  rooms  in  the  College.  The  qualitative 
laboratory  contains  three  very  large  working  tables,  each  of  which  can 
easily  accommodate  ten  students.  The  quantitative  laboratory  is  also  well 
equipped  with  tables,  hoods,  water,  gas,  electricity,  etc.,  and  has  desk  room 
for  at  least  fourteen  students  in  all.  The  lecture-room  is  well  lighted 
and  heated  and  beautifully  furnished  and  commodious,  having  a seating 


STATE  COLLEGE  OF  KENTUCKY.

capacity  of  about  seventy-five.  Besides  the  laboratories  and  lecture-room, 
there  are  several  other  smaller  rooms  on  the  same  floor  set  aside  for  the  use 
of  the  Chemical  Department — an  instructor’s  office,  a balance-room,  and  a 
store-room. 

APPARATUS. 

The  Department  is  well  supplied  with  the  commoner  forms  of’  cheimical 
apparatus  and  chemicals.  In  addition  to  these  it  owns  several  of  the  more 
expensive  pieces  of  apparatus,  such  as  several  exceedingly  delicate  balances  for 
analytical  work;  a grand  model  Bunsen  & Kirchoff  spectroscope;  pla,tinum 
apparatus;  a complete  outfit  for  electro-plating;  vapor  density  apparatus;  a 
glass  model  ice-machine,  etc.  These,  of  course,  will  be  added  to  from  time  to 
time,  as  the  needs  of  the  Department  demand  and  the  resources  of  the  insti- 
tution permit;  as  it  is  now,  however,  the  equipment  is  such  as  readily  to  enable 
the  student  to  obtain  at  first  hand  a good  working  knowledge  of  chemical 
science. 


COURSE  IN  CHEMISTRY. 

The  Chemical  course  is  one  of  the  several  scientific  courses  offered  by  the 
College.  It  was  first  offered  in  1894  with  the  view  of  preparing  the  student 
for  life  work  in  Chemistry,  and  also  with  the  view  of  fitting  him  for  the)  study 
of  medicine  and  kindred  professions.  To  the  accomplishment  of  this  purpose 
the  following  course  of  study,  extending  over  a period  of  four  years,  has 
been  adopted. 


STUDIES  REQUIRED. 

The  first  year  is  devoted  to  the  study  of  English,  German,  Physiology, 
Free-hand  Drawing,  and  Mathematics,  including  Plane  Geometry,  Trigonom- 
etry, and  Algebra.  The  second  year  to  German,  Physics,  Botany,  Chemistry, 
and  Mathematics,  including  Solid  and  Analytical  Geometry  and  Calculus.  The 
third  year  to  Theoretical  Chemistry,  English,  Calculus,  French,  and  labora- 
tory work  on  the  Chemistry  of  the  metals  and  on  Qualitative  Analysis.  The 
fourth  year  to  Quantitative  Analysis,  Organic  Chemistry,  Chemical  Reading  on 
advanced  topics,  and  to  Chemical  Research,  History  and  Political  Economy, 
Logic  and  Mental  Philosophy. 

For  further  information  as  to  requirements,  the  Schedule  may  be  con- 
sulted, page  73. 


THE  TRAINING1  IN  CHEMISTRY  PROPER. 

The  study  of  Chemistry  proper,  as  outlined  in  the  above,  is  sufficient  in  its 
scope  to  bring  the  student  into  close  contact  with  the  great  fundamental  truths 
of  the  science  and  to  make  him  enthusiastic  and  capable  in  his  profession. 

The  course  in  General  Chemistry,  extending  through  the  second  and  third 
terms  of  the  second  year,  consists  of  lectures  and  recitations  five  times  weekly 
on  the  non-metals  and  their  compounds  and  the  simpler  laws  of  chejmical

change.  The  lectures  are  abundantly  illustrated  by  suitable  and  instructive 
experiments;  the  laboratory  work  is  carefully  directed,  and  the  student  receives 
every  possible  encouragement  to  do  excellent  work. 

In  the  third  year  the  study  of  Chemistry  is  resumed,  with  laboratory  work 
and  Theoretical  Chemistry.  The  study  of  Theoretical  Chemistry,  consisting 
of  lectures,  recitations,  and  readings  five  times  weekly  throughout  the  year, 
is  intended  to  acquaint  the  student  with  the  greatest  generalizations  and 
theories  of  modern  chemistry  and  their  historical  development.  In  this  con- 
nection about  fifty  lectures  are  delivered  annually  upon  the  following  general 
topics:  Ten  upon  the  Atomic  Theory,  its  development,  and  the  methods  at 
present  used  in  the  determination  of  atomic  weights;  fifteen  upon  the  Com- 
pounds of  Carbon,  Isomerism  and  Structural  Formulas;  ten  upon  the  History 
of  Chemistry;  five  upon  tne  Periodic  Law;  five  upon  the  Spectroscope,  Spec- 
trum Analysis,  and  the  Chemistry  of  the  Heavenly  Bodies;  five  upon  the  more 
important  current  chemical  investigations. 

By  way  of  supplementing  the  work  of  the  lecturer,  students  pursfuing  this 
course  will  be  required  to  do  a certain,  rather  liberal,  amount  of  general  read- 
ing upon  the  matter  treated  of  in  the  lectures  or  upon  such  other  topics  as  may 
be  assigned  by  the  instructor.  For  this  purpose  the  nucleus  of  a chemical 
library  has  been  formed,  which  may  be  freely  consulted  by  any  or  all  students 
in  the  College,  and  the  leading  chemical  journals  or  thus  and  other  countries 
will  be  kept  there  on  file.  The  broadening  influences  of  such  a course  of 
study  can  scarcely  be  overestimated,  and  the  students  who  complete;  it  satis- 
factorily will  find  themselves,  in  some  measure  at  least,  abreast  of  the  highest 
and  best  chemical  thought  of  our  time. 

The  laboratory  work  during  the  first  term  of  the  third  year  i‘s  devoted  to 
the  study  of  the  metals  and  their  more  important  compounds,  and  to  qualita- 
tive analysis.  This  work  is  intended  to  supplement  the  work  of  the  first  year 
upon  the  non-metals,  and  also  to  familiarize  the  student  more  fully  with  the 
commoner  methods  of  chemical  manipulation  and  practice.  The  laboratory 
work  of  the  first  term  will  be  followed  up  during  the  second  and  third  with 
laboratory  work  in  quantitative  analysis,  by  means  of  which  the  student  learns 
the  value  of  precise  and  accurate  work  and  the  constancy  and  definite  character 
of  chemical  reactions.  The  chemical  work  of  the  last  year  will  consist  of  such 
special  work  as  the  student  may  elect  to  pursue,  together  with  the  preparation 
of  a thesis  embodying  the  results  of  this  special  work.  The  object  of  such  special 
arrangement  is  to  perfect  him  in  that  particular  branch  of  the  science  for 
which  he  shows  a liking  or  a particular  talent.  In  this  connection  it  may  be 
well  to  state  that  facilities  are  offered  for  special  work  along  the  following 
lines:  Theoretical  and  Physical  Chemistry,  Organic  Chemistry,  Agricultural 
Chemistry,  Physiological  Chemistry,  general  analytical  work,  and  special  an- 
alytical work  on  fertilizers,  iron  and  steel  and  fuels. 

CHEMISTRY  REQUIRED  IN  OTHER  COURSES. 

Instruction  in  Chemistry  in  other  courses  of  study,  such  as  the  Scientific, 
Classical,  etc.,  is  designed  to  meet  the  special  needs  of  the  student  in  these 
several  directions. 


STATE  COLLEGE  OF  KENTUCKY.

In  the  Classical  Course  the  study  of  this  science  extends  over  five  months, 
five  times  weekly,  and  is  intended  simply  to  introduce  the  student  to  the  sub- 
ject by  the  way  of  general  education. 

In  the  Scientific  Course  the  work  extends  over  ten  months.  A portion  of 
this  time  is  devoted  to  the  study  of  metals  and  qualitative  analysis  by  means 
of  laboratory  work.  In  the  course  of  Mechanical  Engineering  the  instruction 
is  adapted  as  completely  as  possible  to  the  needs  of  students  in  this  depart- 
ment. Instruction  in  chemistry  in  this  course  extends  over  a period  of  two 
terms,  five  months  of  which  are  devoted  to  the  study  of  the  non-metals  and 
their  compounds;  five  to  the  chemistry  of  the  metals  with  special  reference 
to  the  properties  whflch  render  them  usful  to  the  mechanical  engineer,  and  also 
with  reference  to  their  mode  of  occurrence  in  nature  and  the  methods  of  ob- 
taining them  from  the  ores. 

For  students  in  Civil  Engineering  a course  in  Chemistry  has  been  provided, 
as  follows:  General  chemistry,  one  term;  laboratory  work  on  the  metals,  one 
term;  quantitative  analysis,  one  term. 

In  the  course  of  Mining  Engineering  instruction  in  Chemistry  extends  over 
a period  of  three  terms,  and  includes  the  following  subjects:  General  Chem- 
istry, the  Chemistry  of  the  Metals,  and  Quantitative  Analysis.  In  addition, 
one  term’s  work  in  Metallurgy  is  required,  and  also  one  term’s  work  in  Assay- 
ing and  Metallurgical  practice. 

For  the  benefit  of  students  of  Agriculture  a special  course  in  Agricultural 
Chemistry  has  been  arranged,  the  general  aim  of  which  is  to  acquaint  the 
student  with  the  chemistry  of  those  elements  which  enter  into  the  composition 
of  plants,  and  which  are  essential  to  their  life  and  growth.  A study  of  the 
composition  of  the  soil,  air,  and  water,  and  their  several  relations  to  the 
plant  as  sources  of  plant  food,  forms  a large  and  important  part  of  this  work. 
Also  the  chemistry  of  tillage,  irrigation,  and  rotation  of  crops,  and  the  com- 
position and  value  of  commercial  fertilizers  and  manures. 

The  instruction  in  Chemistry  is  also  adapted  as  fully  as  possible  to  the 
needs  of  students  in  Biology.  Instruction  in  this  branch  extends  over  two 
terms,  five  times  weekly.  The  first  half  of  the  time  is  devoted  to  the  study 
of  Elementary  Chemistry;  this  is  followed  by  laboratory  work  in  the  after- 
noon upon  those  elements  which  are  regarded  as  essential  to  living  things, 
animal  and  vegetable.

SENIOR  CLASS.

The  curriculum  leading  to  the  classical  degree  of  A.  B.,  and  set  forth  in  the 
Schedule  on  page  — , includes  English,  Greek,  Latin,  French,  German,  History, 
Political  Economy,  Metaphysics,  Mathematics,  and  some  Physical  Science.  The 
grouping  of  these  studies  is  designed  to  meet  the  needs  of  those  students  whose 
tastes  and  aptitudes  incline  them  to  literature  rather  than  to  science;  who  seek 
not  knowledge  alone  but  culture  as  well,  and  who,  moreover,  desire  a course  of 
studies  suited  to  those  who  are  to  prepare . themselves  for  a profession,  and  to 
become  teachers,  preachers,  physicians,  lawyers,  journalists,  writers  or  scholars, 
or,  it  may  be,  legislators  or  authors. 

To  this  brief  statement  of  the  objects  kept  in  view  in  making  up  this  group  of 
studies  it  is  due  to  this  Department,  and  not  meant  to  be  invidious,  to  add,  that 
statistics  published  annually  by  the  IT.  S.  Commissioner  of  Education  show  that, 
even  in  this  country  where  scientific  and  the  so-called  practical  studies  are  so 
strongly  and  so  justly  recommended  and  encouraged,  that  even  here  the  classical 
course  is  from  three  to  six  times  more  popular  than  any  other;  while  the  English, 
the  French,  and  the  Germans,  who  in  letters,  arts,  and  arms  rank  highest  in  the 
scale  of  nations,  devote  far  more  attention  to  these  studies  than  we.  Indeed,  as 
showing  the  educational  trend  of  the  most  intelligent  people  that  has  ever  existed, 
it  is  a fact  of  impressive  significance  that  a vast  Thesaurus  Linguae  Latinae, 
Thesaurus  of  the  Latin  language,  and  written  in  Latin,  the  product  of  five  leading 
universities  of  the  Germans,  and  therefore  of  the  world,  Berlin,  Leipzig,  Goettin- 
gen, Munich  and  Vienna,  is  now  appearing  from  the  press  of  Teubner.  This 
magnificent  and  monumental  work  is  to  consist  of  twelve  volumes  quarto,  each 
as  large  as  Webster’s  Unabridged,  and  to  sell,  when  durably  bound,  for  more 
than  $200  a copy.  No  other  language  has  had  such  a dictionary,  and  this  Thesau- 
rus is  the  greatest  contribution  ever  made  to  the  study  of  that  language,  which 
to  every  highly  civilized  people  is  more  important  than  any  other  except  their 
own;  which  has  formed  nearly  half  of  ours  and  more  than  half  of  three  others, 
and  which,  therefore,  can  not,  in  any  rational  scheme  of  education,  be  neglected 
or  disparaged,  but  must  retain  its  place  if  not  its  primacy  among  the  most  useful 
studies  that  man  can  pursue. 


In  1903,  the  last  year  reported,  there  were  in  American  colleges,  universities, 
and  technological  schools,  114,130  students:  In  classical  courses,  51,152;  in  other 
culture  courses,  13,605;  in  general  science,  7,397;  in  mechanical  engineering,  6,800; 
in  civil,  5,378;  in  electrical,  3,652;  in  mining,  2,244;  in  agriculture,  3,306;  in  all 
other  courses,  3,285. 


The  Professors  of  this  Department  offer  courses  of  study  equal  to  those  of  the 
best  land-grant  colleges,  courses  as  long  and  as  varied  as  the  grade  of  their 
students  and  other  limitations  allow.  In  offering  them  they  announce  that  their 
method  of  instruction,  so  far  as  it  is  distinctive,  rests  on  the  assumption  that 
ability  to  write  a language  well  is  the  infallible  test  of  a real  knowledge  of  it. 
Unusual  attention  is  therefore  given  to  Greek  and  Latin  composition,  the  first

session  being  devoted  almost  entirely  to  the  writing  of  exercises.  This  leads  di- 
rectly to  an  accurate  knowledge  of  the  forms  and  meanings  o.f  words,  of  the  rules 
of  syntax,  and  of  the  idioms.  Every  student  of  the  classes  in  grammar  is  required 
daily  to  translate  on  the  blackboard  an  exercise  from  Greek  or  Latin  into  Eng- 
lish, and  another  from  English  into  Greek  or  Latin,  and  then  to  write  out  de- 
clensions and  conjugations,  with  careful  attention  to  the  length  of  syllables  and 
to  accentuation.  His  work  is  then  rapidly  corrected  by  the  teacher,  who,  in  mak- 
ing his  corrections,  supplements  the  lesson  of  the  text-book  with  instruction  on 
the  order  of  the  words,  on  synonyms,  on  the  derivation  of  English  words  sug- 
gested by  the  words  of  the  exercise,  and  on  other  pertinent  matters.  This  process 
involves  great  labor  for  the  student  and  drudgery  for  the  teacher,  but  it  leads 
to  a mastery  of  the  grammar  and  to  much  more. 

The  second  session  is  spent  mostly  in  reading  the  easy  Latin  of  Viri  Romae, 
Nepos,  and  Caesar,  or  the  easy  Greek  of  the  Reader  and  Xenophon,  considerable 
attention  being  still  directed  to  the  writing  of  exercises.  The  student  is  encour- 
aged in  the  habit  of  first  reading  the  sentences  in  the  Greek  or  Latin  order  of  the 
words,  and  of  then  translating  them  in  the  English  order  and  idiom.  The  trans- 
lations are  partly  oral,  partly  written. 

During  the  remainder  of  the  courses  the  bright  and  diligent  student  proceeds 
from  the  easier  authors  to  the  more  difficult,  enlarging  his  vocabulary,  extending 
and  sharpening  his  knowledge  of  forms,  syntax,  and  idioms,  incidentally  directing 
his  attention  to  metres,  geography,  history,  mythology,  and  antiquities,  and  per- 
petually and  supremely  to  the  effort  to  find  the  best  English  expression  for  the 
Greek  or  Latin  thought;  for,  while  more  than  a third,  and  that  too  unspeakably 
the  most  difficult  third,  of  our  own  magnificent  language  is  derived  from  Greek 
and  Latin,  and  while  the  study  of  these  tongues  is  therefore  intensely  practical 
to  those  who  speak  English,  and  indispensable  to  all  who  would  thoroughly  ac- 
quire it,  yet  it  is  in  the  intellectual  training  to  be  had  frd’m  the  proper  translation 
of  the  Greek  and  Latin  authors  that  the  advocates  of  classical  learning  find  their 
amplest  justification  and  defense,  their  most  cogent  plea.  The  ceaseless  quest 
for  the  clearness,  force,  and  beauty  of  the  best  English,  in  order  to  find  an  equiv- 
alent for  the  best  Greek  or  Latin,  calls  into  play  every  faculty  of  the  mind  and 
gives  to  classical  studies  an  educational  value  which,  we  insist,  no  substitute 
can  equal. 


The  Germans  are  admitted  to  be  the  leading  educators  of  the  world.  In  the 
nine  years’  curriculum  of  their  443  gymnasia,  which  are  their  best  secondary 
schools  (corresponding  to  our  colleges,  but  conferring  no  degrees  and  with  fewer 
studies  far  better  taught),  they  assign  to  the  study  of  Greek  and  of  Latin  a higher 
educational  value  than  to  any  otner  study.*  InThe  227  Prussian  gymnasia,  for 
example,  Latin,  by  the  time  devoted  to  it,  is  valued  at  62,  Greek  at  36,  and  math- 
ematics, the  next  highest  study,  at  34.  In  the  other  parts  of  Germany  the  differ- 
ence is  greater  still.  In  the  Saxon  gymnasia,  Latin  is  valued  at  72,  Greek  at  41, 
mathematics  at  33;  in  those  of  Wurtemberg,  Latin  at  81,  Greek  at  40,  mathematics 
at  33.  Similarly,  in  the  great  public  schools  of  England,  including  Oxford  and 
Cambridge  (with  a higher  estimate  of  mathematics,  however),  as  well  as  in  the 
Lycees,  the  leading  secondary  schools  of  France,  the  utility  of  the  study  of  the 
Latin  language  as  a medium  of  intellectual  training  and  culture  is  everywhere 
recoghized  as  supreme.  And  the  results  have  justified  the  estimate.  A system 
of  education  by  which  a host  of  great  men,  from  Bacon  to  Gladstone,  have  been 


*“The  classical  literature  is,  and  will  continue  to  be,  the  source  of  all  our 
culture.  It  must  remain,  therefore,  not  only  an  indispensable  but  by  far  the 
most  important  study  in  our  higher  schools.” — Frederic  Gedike.  And  yet  the 
German  language  owes  little  to  Greek  and  Latin,  while  the  English  owes  to  them 
nearly  half  its  words.  The  inference  of  course  is  that  the  study  of  Greek  and 
Latin  is  far  more  useful  to  an  American  or  an  Englishman  than  it  can  be  to  a 
German,  for  the  German  derives  culture  from  the  study  and  the  American  or 
Englishman  both  culture  and  a knowledge  of  his  language.

fitted  for  their  splendid  careers,  is  assuredly  not  a bad  one,  and  in  that  system 
Greek  and  Latin  have  always  held  the  first  place. 

The  National' Commissioner  of  Education  reports  that  in  the  secondary  schools 
of  the  United  States  there  were,  in  1889-1890,  100,144  students  of  Latin;  in  1897- 
1898,  274,293,  an  increase  of  174  per  cent.,  and  greater  than  any  other  study;  that 
in  the  same  nine  years  the  students  of  Greek  increased  from  12,869  to  24,994,  an 
increase  of  94  per  cent.;  and  that  in  1897-1898,  49.44;  per  cent.,  almost  exactly 
one-half  of  all  the  students  of  secondary  schools,  were  studying  Latin.  When 
the  immense  number  of  classical  students  in  the  629  colleges  and  universities  of 
the  United  States  is  added  to  the  300,000  and  more  now  in  our  secondary  schools 
(314,856  in  1900),  it  will  be  plain  that  there  is  no  decline  in  the  demand  for  class- 
ical learning.  (1903,  total  classical  students  in  schools  of  all  grades,  413,091.) 

While  no  wise  man  will  seek  to  disparage  or  unduly  to  exalt  any  branch  of 
knowledge,  it  is  not  invidious  to  say  that  though  the  vast  expansion  of  science 
during  the  wonderful  nineteenth  century  has  contributed  enormously  to  the  com- 
fort and  the  glory  of  man,  yet  an  immense  majority  in  the  civilized  nations  will 
continue  to  feel  more  interest  in  man  and  his  doings  than  in  matter  and  its  prop- 
erties, more  in  literature  than  in  science,  and  more  in  the  applications  of  science 
than  in  its  principles  and  processes. 


Greek,  the  marvelous  tongue  of  the  most  intellectual  of  all  the  races,  the 
repository  of  a fine  literature,  in  the  crowded  curricula  of  American  schools, 
especially  of  coeducational  schools,  will,  for  ordinary  students,  naturally  give 
place  to  the  easier  and  more  practical  French  and  German.  The  more  gifted  or 
ambitious,  who  seek  high  scholarship  and  a more  liberal  culture,  will  learn 
Greek,  and  of  course  French  and  German.  Nay,  when  a student  of  high  spirit 
finds  that  notes  to  so  common  a work  as  Macaulay’s  History  or  Buckle’s  are  in 
eight  languages,  he  will  be  ashamed  to  skip  any,  and  he  will  not  be  satisfied  till 
he  can  read  them  all,  including  those  in  Greek. 

It  is  timely  to  add  that  after  long  and  earnest  debate,  the  proposition  to  sub- 
stitute French  and  German  for  Greek  in  the  course  for  A.  B.  at  Oxford  and  Cam- 
bridge has  lately  been  voted  down  by  a great  majority.  A needless  wrangle,  easy 
to  settle  once  for  all  by  giving  a higher  degree  to  those  who  learn  all  these 
languages  and  a lower  to  those  who  omit  Greek.

X . DEPARTMENT  OF  PEDAGOGY. 

PROFESSOR  WHITE. 

The  Normal  Department  of  the  State  College  exists  under  the  authority 
of  acts  of  the  General  Assembly  approved  April  23  and  April  29,  1880.  Section 
7 of  the  first  act  briefly  defines  the  object  for  which  the  Department  was 
established,  “a  Normal  Department  or  course  of  instruction  for  irregular  peri- 
ods, designed  more  particularly,  but  not  exclusively,  to'  qualify  teachers  for 
common  and  other  schools,  shall  be  established  in  connection  with  the  College.” 
The  second  act  provides  the  necessary  endowment  to  make  the1  Departmept 
effective. 

Acting  under  the  clause  above  quoted  from  the  incorporating  act,  the  author- 
ities of  the  College  have  organized  two  distinct  but  closely  related  sub- 
departments  of  work  for  teachers.  These  are  the  Normal  School  and  the  Col- 
lege course  in  Pedagogy;  the  one  designed  to  prepare  teachers  for  the  element- 
ary schools;  the  other  for  secondary  schools  and  colleges. 


56 


STATE  COLLEGE  OF  KENTUCKY. 


In  this  arrangement  the  State  College  of  Kentucky  is  unique  and  possesses 
a distinct  advantage.  Through  the  Normal  School  it  comes  into  close  and 
sympathetic  touch  with  the  masses  of  the  teachers  throughout  the  State,  and 
through  the  college  course  it  comes  into  vital  contact  with  the  more  advanced 
teachers  and  the  higher  schools. 

Many  students  who  come  to  the  Normal  School  are  led,  as  the  result  of  what 
they  see  of  the  college  work,  to  undertake  an  advanced  course.  The  Normal 
School  thus  discharges  a function  whose  value  can  not  be  overestimated,  in 
that  it  introduces  many  of  the  most  intelligent  youths  of  the  State  to  the 
facilities  which  the  College  can  offer  them. 

THE  COLLEGE  COUKSE  IN  PEDAGOGY. 

In  1893,  the  College  authorities,  in  response  to  a strong  demand  for 
advanced  instruction  for  teachers,  organized  a full  collegiate  course  with 
Pedagogy  as  a major.  This  action  put  the  State  College  on  a par  with  other 
institutions  in  the  North  and  West,  for  there  are  few  State  universities  in 
those  sections  that  do  not  support  a department  for  the  advanced  teaching 
ot  education. 

This  course  is  co-equal  in  number  and  difficulty  of  subjects,  in  the  time 
required  for  its  completion,  and  in  disciplinary  and  cultural  value,  with  the 
other  full  collegiate  courses.  The  purpose  of  the  course  is  to  fit  young  men 
and  women  for  the  best  service  as  teachers  in  high  schools,  academies,  and 
colleges. 

To  realize  this  purpose  the  course  offers,  in  addition  to  the  usual  amount 
of  work  in  science,  language  and  mathematics,  specialized  instruction  in 
the  following  subjects,  which  give  to  this  course  its  distinctive  character. 

GENERAL  PEDAGOGY. 

In  the  third  term  of  the  Sophomore  year  the  student  is  given  a general 
view  of  the  whole  field  of  Pedagogy  through  a synoptic  outline  of  the  sub- 
ject. The  purpose  is  to  present  enough  of  each  topic  in  Pedagogy  to  show 
the  trend  of  each  important  question  in  modern  education.  The  work  is 
carried  on  both  by  lectures  and  class  discussions. 

PSYCHOLOGY. 

In  the  first  term  of  the  Junior  year,  the  subject  of  Psychology  is  presented, 
chiefly  with  reference  to  its  value  to  the  teacher.  Psychology  is  treated 
as  a basis  of  the  science  of  education  and  the  art  of  teaching.  No  time  is 
spent  in  mere  speculative  discussions,  but  from  the  very  first  the  effort  is 
made  to  connect  the  subject  vitally  with  the  teacher’s  actual  work  in  the 
school.  Especial  attention  is  given  to  the  mind’s  functions  in  Acquiring, 
Assimilating,  and  Expressing.  The  value  of  Psychology  also  is  shown  as 
the  basis  of  Methodology,  and  of  Educational  Economy. 

The  text-book  is  ’‘Psychology  in  Education.” 

In  the  second  term  of  the  Junior  year,  a few  more  of  the  valuable  topics 
in  higher  Psychology  are  taken  up.  The  special  Psychology  of  some  of  the 
advanced  branches  will  be  studied. 

The  work  will  be  library  research,  lectures,  and  class  discussions. 


STATE  COLLEGE  OF  KENTUCKY.

EDUCATIONAL  ECONOMY. 

In  the  third  term  of  the  Junior  year,  the  different  subjects  comprised 
under  the  general  term  “Educational  Economy,”  are  taken  up  in  detail. 
No  text-book  is  used,  but  the  well-stocked  library  of  the  Department  is  put 
at  the  service  of  the  students,  and  from  all  available  sources  they  are  expect- 
ed to  work  up  such  subjects  as  (1)  the  organization  and  administration  of  the 
individual  school,  in  country  and  city;  (2)  the  organization  and  administra- 
tion of  State  and  city  systems  of  schools;  (3)  the  course  of  study;  (4)  fa- 
tigue; (5)  buildings  and  grounds;  (6)  control  and  discipline;  and  (7)  the 
correlation  of  the  school  and  the  community. 

These  topics  are  discussed  with  constant  reference  to  their  underlying 
psychological  and  sociological  principles. 

This  term’s  work  is  particularly  suited  to  those  who  are  preparing  for 
principalships  and  county  or  city  superintendencies. 

METHODOLOGY. 

Through  the  first  term  in  the  Senior  year  the  student  carries  the  work 
in  Methodology,  all  of  which  is  based  directly  upon  Psychology. 

The  principles  of  general  method,  and  the  special  methods  of  each 
school  subject  are  thoroughly  discussed,  and  much  drill  is  given  in  the 
making  of  lesson-plans. 

The  text-book  used  is  “Method  in  Education.” 

THE  HISTORY  OF  EDUCATION. 

The  second  term  in  the  Senior  year  is  devoted  to  the  History  of  Edu- 
cation. 

It  is  found  much  the  best  plan  to  place  this  study  last  in  the  curriculum, 
because  by  the  time  it  is  taken  up  the  students  in  Pedagogy  are  sufficiently 
familiar  with  the  different  divisions  and  problems  of  the  subject  to  under- 
stand and  interpret  the  history  of  educational  development. 

The  text-book  used  is  “Seeley’s  History  of  Education,”  but  in  this  subject 
the  library  is  fully  used. 


PROFESSIONAL  READING. 

For  a student  to  get  the  best  results  from  the  study  of  any  subject,  he 
should  read  as  widely  as  possible  in  the  literature  of  the  subject.  This  is 
especially  true  of  education,  which  has  such  a wealth  of  literature  and 
touches  closely  so  many  other  subjects.  One  term,  and  when  possible  more 
time,  is  devoted  to  the  reading  and  analysis  of  such  books  as  Butler’s  “The 
Meaning  of  Education,”  Jordan’s  “The  Care  and  Culture  of  Men,”  Hanus' 
“Educational  Aims  and  Educational  Values,”  Henderson’s  “Education  and 
the  Larger  Life,”  Hinsdale’s  “Jesus  as  a Teacher,”  etc. 

The  department  library  is  well  stocked  with  the  best  pedagogical  litera- 
ture, and  pupils  are  urged  to  make  constant  use  of  it. 


58 


STATE  COLLEGE  OF  KENTUCKY. 


OBSERVATION  WORK. 

As  much  time  as  possible  is  used  by  the  students  in  visiting  schools  in  the 
city  of  Lexington  and  the  rural  districts  near  by.  Reports  upon  this  obser- 
vation of  the  work  of  experienced  teachers  are  prepared  and  handed  in  by 
each  pupil,  and  form  the  basis  of  class  discussions. 

THESES. 

Each  candidate  for  the  Bachelor’s  Degree  in  Pedagogy  is  required  to 
write  a thesis  upon  some  theme  assigned  by  the  Dean.  This  work  must  be 
done  acceptably  and  a copy  of  the  thesis  left  with  the  Department. 


XI.  DEPARTMENT  of  civil  engineering. 

PROFESSOR  BROOKS. 

The  course  of  civil  engineering  is  planned  to  acquaint  the  students  with 
the  knowledge  of  the  subjects  necessary  to  enable  the  civil  engineer  to  de- 
velop himself  into  a skilled  practitioner  of  his  profession  in  any  of  its 
several  branches.  So  far  as  is  possible,  the  importance  of  each  subject 
taught  is  illustrated  by  its  application  to  some  work  similar  to  that  which  is 
met  with  in  actual  practice.  An  effort  is  made  to  render  the  course  valu- 
able, not  only  for  the  professional  uses,  but  also  from  an  educational  stand- 
point; therefore,  while  the  student  is  learning  each  subject,  both  theoreti- 
cally and  practically,  the  training  of  his  mind  as  well  as  the  needs  of  his 
profession  is  kept  in  view.  In  addition  to  the  purely  technical  matters 
included  in  the  course,  provision  is  made  for  the  study  of  English,  History 
and  Political  Economy. 

EQUIPMENT. 

The  Department  of  Civil  Engineering  occupies  the  second  floor  of 
Engineers’  Hall,  which  contains  an  office  and  recitation  and  drawing-rooms 
for  the  accommodation  of  classes  of  twenty-five  students.  The  drawing- 
room is  equipped  with  tables,  boards,  drawing  paper,  and  all  the  larger  and

LABORATORIES. 

Instruction  is  given  in  the  Physical  Laboratory  during  the  first  term  of 
the  Sophomore  year,  and  in  the  Chemical  Laboratory  during  the  second 
term  of  the  Junior  and  Senior  years. 

DRAWING. 

The  work  in  drawing  is  begun  in  the  first  term  of  the  Freshman  year, 
and  consists  of  free-hand  sketching  from  models,  engineering  structures, 
and  from  drawings,  and  in  practice  in  the  use  of  drafting  instruments.  In 
the  Sophomore  year  the  time  is  occupied  in  mapping,  with  exercises  in 
topography,  and  special  attention  is  given  to  the  rapid  and  accurate  forma- 
tion of  Roman  and  other  appropriate  styles  of  letters.  In  the  second  term, 
four  hours  a week  are  devoted  to  the  solution  of  problems  in  Descriptive 
Geometry.  During  the  winter  of  the  Junior  year  a topographic  map  is 
plotted  from  notes  of  a survey  made  by  the  class  during  the  autumn.  Such 
a map  made  by  the  present  Junior  class  embraces  four  city  blocks,  a farm  of 
about  two  hundred  acres,  and  was  plotted  on  a scale  of  two  hundred  feet  to 
an  inch.  One  hour  a day  during  the  second  term  is  devoted  to  problems  in 
stone-cutting.  A topographic  map  of  railroad  location,  with  cross  sections 
and  profile,  is  completed  in  the  third  term,  and  graphic  analyses  of  frame 
structures  are  made  during  the  year.  In  the  Senior  year  the  work  in  draw- 
ing consists  of  problems  in  design  and  of  construction  details.

year,  with  the  study  of  text-books  on  the  theory  of  plane  surveying,  supple- 
mented by  ample  practice  in  the  solution  of  numerical  examples.  This 
is  followed  by  daily  field  practice  in  the  use  and  adjustment  of  surveying 
instruments,  with  exercises  in  leveling,  determination  of  inaccessible  dis- 
tances, and  in  farm  surveys.  In  the  first  term  of  the  Junior  year  a topo- 
graphic survey  of  a tract  of  land  adjacent  to  the  College  property  is  made', 
based  on  a system  of  accurate  triangulation.  In  the  second  term  the  theory 
of  railroad  surveying  is  studied,  especial  attention  being  given  to  spirals  and 
other  modern  features  of  railroad  practice.  A line  of  railroad  is  run  and  cross 
sectioned,  and  an  estimate  made  of  the  cost  of  construction.  The  study  of 
Geodesy  is  taken  up  in  the  Senior  year,  embracing  the  theory  of  adjustment 
of  a system  of  triangulation  and  the  methods  of  determining  latitude,  longi- 
tude, and  azimuth.  The  State  College  system  of  triangulation  has  been 
begun  and  will  be  yearly  perfected  and  extended  by  the  Senior  classes.

COURSE  OF  STUDY. 

The  training  given  in  this  course,  both  practical  and  theoretical,  is 
intended  to  prepare  young  men  for  positions  of  responsibility  and  trust  in 
mechanical  engineering  work.  The  practical  work  extends  over  a period  of 
two  years,  and  includes  the  most  important  principles  and  operations  in 
bench-work,  in  wood,  wood-turning,  pattern-making,  foundry-work,  iron  and 
steel  forging,  and  hand  and  machine  work  in  metal. 

The  theoretical  work  during  the  first  two  years  consists  of  a thorough 
training  in  English,  Chemistry,  Mathematics,  Physics,  and  Drawing,  and 
during  the  last  two  years  the  fundamental  principles  of  boiler,  machine, 
dynamo,  and  engine  designs  are  taken  up.  By  a careful  solution  of  practi- 


STATE  COLLEGE  OF  KENTUCKY. 


63 


cal  problems,  the  student  becomes  familiar  with  the  process  carried  on  by 
the  operators  and  designers  of  successful  machine-building  plants. 

The  course  in  Mechanical  Engineering  involves  three  separate  lines  of 
work : 

1.  Mechanical  Engineering , the  object  of  which  is  to  give  that  train- 
ing necessary  to  fit  men  to  be  operators  and  designers  of  steam  machinery 
and  manufacturing  plants. 

2.  Chemical  Engineering , intended  especially  to  give  the  knowledge 
requisite  for  the  successful  operation  of  iron  and  steel  plants  and  the  analy- 
sis of  iron,  steel,  coals,  and  refractory  substances. 

3.  Electrical  Engineering,  in  which  the  theory,  design,  building,  and 
operation  of  dynamos  and  motors  are  predominant. 

Particular  attention  is  paid  to  the  construction  of  power  and  lighting 
stations. 

The  course  of  study  in  Mechanical  and  Electrical  Engineering,  extend- 
ing over  a period  of  four  years,  leads  to  the  degree  B.  M.  E.  (Bachelor  of 
Mechanical  Engineering).  The  advanced  degree  of  Mechanical  Engineer 
may  be  obtained  by  resident  students  in  one  year  after  taking  the  degree  of 
B.  M.  E.  from  the  State  College  of  Kentucky  or  any  other  institution  of 
equal  requirements,  they  having  successfully  carried  on  the  work  laid  down, 
passed  a satisfactory  examination,  and  presented  an  acceptable  thesis.  The 
advanced  degree  may  also  be  taken  in  three  years  after  obtaining  the  degree 
of  B.  M.  E.,  provided  the  student  has  been  engaged  during  the  period  of 
three  years  in  practical  engineering  work,  passes  a satisfactory  examination 
at  the  College,  and  presents  an  acceptable  thesis. 

At  least  two  years’  notice  must  be  given  to  the  Faculty  that  post-graduate 
work  is  done,  and  the  work  must  be  approved  by  the  Faculty.

plants,  are  taken  by  the  Junior  and  Senior  Classes.  The  Juniors,  for  several 
years,  have  visited  Cincinnati,  Hamilton  and  Dayton.  During  the  last  three 
years,  the  Seniors  have  visited  Chicago  and  its  vicinity  on  the  annual  trip. 

During  the  Spring  Term,  four  days  are  set  apart  for  the  Junior  trip  and 
six  for  the  Senior.  The  experiences  of  these  trips  are  considered  to  be 
among  the  most  valuable  of  the  engineer's  collegiate  life. 

SUMMER  SCHOOL  OP  MECHANIC  ARTS. 

The  regular  curriculum  in  Mechanical  and  Electrical  Engineering  has 
no  elective  course.  In  order  to  provide  opportunity  for  instruction  in  them, 
a Summer  School  has  been  established,  which  continues  in  session  ten 
weeks.  In  this  school  instruction  is  given  in  all  the  subjects  taught  in  the 
regular  course  of  Mechanical  and  Electrical  Engineering,  as  well  as  in  elec- 
tive courses  of  the  Mechanic  Arts. 

The  Summer  School  is  designed  especially  for  technical  students,  loco- 
motive engineers  and  firemen,  stationary  engineers,  artisans  and  mechanics. 
Special  attention  is  paid  to  courses  in  Mechanical  Drawing,  Machine  Design 
and  Shop-work. 


XIII.  DEPARTMENT  OF  ANATOMY  AND  PHYSIOLOGY. 

DR.  PRYOR. 

The  Department  of  Anatomy  and  Physiology  occupies  one-half  of  the 
second  floor  of  the  Natural  Science  Building.  The  space  assigned  to  this 
Department  includes  a large  lecture  and  general  recitation-room,  an  office, 
and  a laboratory. 

The  lecture-room  is  provided  with  a Colt’s  Criterion  Stereopticon  with 
a microscopic  attachment.  Arrangements  are  made  to  darken  the  room  for 
the  use  of  the  lantern.  This  method  of  giving  illustrated  lectures  is  exten- 
sively used.  A large  number  of  lantern  slides  have  been  purchased  or  made. 
These  include  all  kinds  of  anatomical,  physiological,  histological  and  path- 
ological subjects,  and  they  have  been  selected  in  order  to  show  not  only 
human  anatomy  but  sufficient  comparative  anatomy  to  illustrate  the  devel- 
opment and  evolution  of  the  organ  or  system. 


STATE  COLLEGE  OF  KENTUCKY.

This  method  of  instruction  is  quite  popular  with  students.  It  affords  a 
detail  not  to  be  obtained  from  models  or  charts  or  from  subjects  for  dissec- 
tion. 

The  lecture  and  general  recitation-room  is  perhaps  the  best  equipped 
room  for  its  purpose  to  be  found  in  any  institution  of  the  South.  It  is  well 
lighted  and  ventilated,  is  provided  with  the  best  opera  chairs  with  arm  rests, 
affording  every  convenience  and  facility  for  student  and  lecturer. 

The  office  contains  the  nucleus  of  a library.  It  is  the  purpose  of  the 
head  of  this  Department  to  provide  students  with  the  latest  and  best  books 
on  Anatomy,  Physiology,  Hygiene,  Histology,  and  Bacteriology. 

The  laboratory  is  provided  with  a Bausch  & Lamb  incubator,  microh 
scopes,  microtomes,  paraffin  bath,  etc.  Tables  are  provided  for  individual 
students.  Each  table  is  equipped  with  the  apparatus  necessary  for  experi- 
mental work  in  Physiology.  Students  .also  have  access  to  and  use  the 
kymograph,  artificial  circulation  scheme  (Porter’s)  capillary  electrometer, 
artificial  eye  (Kiihne’s).  heart-holder,  orgograph,  rheochord,  plethysmo- 
graph,  tambour,  signal  magnet,  etc. 

The  Department  is  supplied  with  all  kinds  of  models,  such  as  an  Auzoux 
papier-mache  manikin,  Auzoux’s  models  of  the  eye  in  full  and  in  section, 
models  of  the  ear,  larynx,  side  of  the  face,  hand,  etc.;  skeletons  in  full  and 
in  section;  complete  disarticulated  skeletons  for  the  individual  use  of  stu- 
dents; a spaced  skull;  a Thoma-Zeiss  Hsemacytometer;  a Dudgeon’s  and  a 
Marey’s  Sphvgmograph ; charts  of  all  kinds,  microscopes,  etc.  Microscopic 
slides  are  exhibited,  showing  the  process  of  karyokinesis. 

The  method  of  instruction  is  by  lectures,  demonstrations  and  recitations. 
Drawings  are  made  on  the  blackboard  in  chalk  by  the  instructor,  and  the 
student  is  required  to  copy  them.  They  include  drawings  of  the  heart  and 
of  the  great  blood-vessels  in  colors;  sections  of  the  eye,  showing  the  con- 
nection of  the  cornea  and  sclerotic  coat  at  the  origin  of  the  ciliary  muscle, 
one  turn  of  the  cochlea  giving  the  organ  of  Corti  in  full;  the  membran- 
ous labyrinth;  a cross  section  of  the  spinal  cord;  a scheme  illustrating  the 
system  of  neurones,  central  and  peripheral,  both  motor  and  sensory. 

The  student  is  required  to  take  notes  from  lectures,  to  copy  and  pre- 
serve them  for  study  and  reference.  The  note  hooks  are  inspected  at  inter- 
vals, correct  spelling  and  neatness  in  preparing  them  being  insisted  on. 

All  students  who  take  the  course  leading  to  the  degree  of  B.  S.  are 
required  to  attend  lectures  two  terms  of  twenty  weeks,  five  hours  per  week, 
during  the  Freshman  year,  and  one  term  of  fifteen  weeks  during  the  Sopho- 
more year.  The  same  amount  of  work  is  required  of  candidates  for  the 
degree  of  B.  Fed.  and  B.  Agr.  Candidates  for  the  degree  of  A.  B.  are 
required  to  attend  during  the  first  term  of  the  Sophomore  year.  Two  classes 
for  ten  weeks  are  organized  at  the  beginning  of  the  second  term  for  the 
benefit  of  Normal  students  who  take  the  studies  leading  to  the  County  Cer- 
tificate. 


COURSE  PREPARATORY  TO  THE  STUDY  OP  MEDICINE. 

This  course,  leading  to  the  degree  of  B.  S.,  with  Anatomy  and  Physiology 
as  the  major  study,  is  arranged  to  suit  students  who  intend  to  enter

upon  a profession,  and  especially  those  who  are  to  devote  themselves  to  the 
study  of  medicine. 

The  studies  of  the  Freshman  and  Sophomore  years  are  identical  with 
those  of  the  other  scientific  courses,  except  that  there  is  an  additional  course 
in  Botany  during  the  third  term  of  the  Sophomore  year,  and  an  additional 
course  in  Physics  in  the  afternoon  of  that  term.  Students  who  take  this 
course  have  the  advantage  of  work  in  the  X-rays. 

The  principal  differentiation  from  the  other  scientific  courses  is  found 
in  the  Junior  and  Senior  years.  The  first  term  of  the  Junior  is  devoted  to 
the  following  studies:  Systematic  Zoology,  Osteology,  French,  and  labora- 
tory work  in  Chemistry,  the  second  term  to  Organic  Chemistry,  Osteology, 
French  and  laboratory  work  in  Zoology;  and  the  third  term  to  Physical 
Chemistry,  Osteology,  French,  and  Physiological  Chemistry.  The  first  term 
of  the  Senior  year  is  devoted  to  French,  History,  Logic,  Geology,  and  labora- 
tory work  in  Physiology;  the  second  term  to  Entomology,  History,  Metaphysics, 
Physiology,  and  thesis  work;  and  the  third  term,  to  Entomology,  Political 
Economy,  Moral  Philosophy,  Physiology,  and  Embryology. 

The  Laboratory  Course  in  Physiology — Is  required  of  Seniors  during 
the  first  term  in  the  afternoon  from  2:30  to  4:30.  The  work  begins  with  the 
central  nervous  system.  The  first  exercise  begins  with  the  study  of  the 
normal  frog;  its  posture  when  at  rest;  its  movements  when  in  water  and  on 
solids;  compensatory  movements,  etc.  A careful  dissection  of  the  frog’s 
brain  and  drawings  of  it  are  made.  Then  follow  experiments  upon  decere- 
brized  frogs.  Perfect  cleanliness  and  aseptic  surgical  methods  are  observed 
as  nearly  as  possible.  Reflex  action  and  inhibition  of  reflexes  are  studied 
with  the  pithed  frog.  The  crayfish  and  earthworm  are  also  used  in  the 
study  of  the  central  nervous  system. 

Muscle  The  student  must  familiarize  himself  with  the  electrical  appa- 
ratus necessary  for  the  work  that  follows;  nerve  muscle  preparations  are 
made,  the  different  kinds  of  stimuli  are  studied,  graphic  records  are  made 
with  the  kymograph,  showing  certain  phenomena  of  muscular  contraction, 
among  them  a single  muscular  contraction  or  twitch;  the  effect  of  load; 
repeated  stimulation;  summation  of  stimuli;  superposition  in  tetanus,  etc. 

Haemodynamics — The  artificial  scheme  used,  which  illustrates  the  me- 
chanics of  the  circulation  in  the  higher  vertebrates,  demonstrates  arterial 
and  venous  pressure,  and  this  is  measured  with  mercury  manometer.  The 
scheme  also  shows  the  conversion  of  an  intermittent  stream  into  a continuous 
flow.  Incompetence  and  stenosis  of  the  mitral  and  aortic  valves  are  demon- 
strated and  with  the  thistle  tube  and  kymograph  pulse-tracings  are  made 
that  compare  favorably  with  those  made  with  the  sphygmograph  by  members 
of  the  class.  Abnormal  cases  are  often  included. 

Normal  Haematology  Clinical  examinations  of  the  blood  are  made, 
including  the  enumeration  of  the  blood  corpuscles  with  the  Thoma-Zeiss 
haemacytometer;  the  estimation  of  haemoglobin  with  Fleischl’s  haemometer; 
the  staining  and  fixing  of  blood  corpuscles;  the  reaction  and  specific  gravity 
of  blood,  etc. 

The  Special  Senses — The  anatomy,  gross  and  minute,  of  the  eye  and  ear, 
and  the  physiology  of  these  organs,  are  treated  as  fully  as  the  time  permits. 


STATE  COLLEGE  OF  KENTUCKY.

During  the  year  students  dissect  such  mammals  (dog,  cat,  and  rabbit) 
as  may  be  used  to  illustrate  the  lectures  preceding  and  accompanying  the 
practical  work.  Especial  attention  is  given  to  the  gross  anatomy  of  the 
viscera,  thoracic,  abdominal  and  pelvic. 

Every  effort  is  made  to  stimulate  and  maintain  interest  throughout  the 
course. 

The  students  who  complete  the  four  years’  course  will  be  credited  with 
one  year’s  work  at  many  of  the  Medical  Colleges  belonging  to  the  American 
Association  of  Medical  Colleges.  Credit  is  also  given  for  other  work  done. 
To  a prospective  student  of  medicine  the  advantages  of  this  course  can 
hardly  be  estimated.  The  additional  training  in  Botany,  Physics,  Zoology, 
Osteology,  Embryology,  Chemistry,  Physiological  Chemistry,  and  in  experi- 
mental and  laboratory  work  in  Physiology,  places  him  far  in  advance  of 
those  who  have  not  pursued  these  studies. 

As  a prerequisite  to  entrance  upon  this  course,  students  must  have  com- 
pleted the  Classical  Course  of  the  Academy,  or  its  equivalent. 

To  those  who  are  to  become  students  of  medicine,  this  Department 
offers  inducements  rarely  enjoyed  in  educational  institutions.

PROFESSOR  MILLER. 

Geology. 

EQUIPMENT  AND  FACILITIES. 

This  Department  occupies  one-half  of  the  second  floor  of  the  Natural 
Science  Building. 

The  Geological  Laboratory  is  fitted  up  with  tables  and  chairs  and  con- 
tains the  study-collection  of  fossils  and  minerals. 

The  Mineralogical  Laboratory  is  arranged  in  its  furnishings  with  special 
reference  to  its  use  as  a mineral-testing  laboratory. 

The  Geological  Lecture  Room,  furnished  with  folding  lecture-room  seats, 
tables,  lantern  stands,  sliding  blackboard,  wall  screen,  and  means  for  quickly 
darkening  the  room,  is  admirably  adapted  for  recitation  and  lecture  uses. 

The  collections  in  Mineralogy  and  Palaeontology  are  arranged  and  class- 
ified with  special  reference  to  their  use  in  class  instruction. 

The  Museum,  occupying  the  entire  third  floor  of  the  building,  now  con- 
tains the  State  Geological  Survey  Collection,  a valuable  addition  to  the 
instruction  facilities  of  this  Department. 

As  additional  equipment  may  be  mentioned  the  Department  library  of 
geological  literature,  consisting  of  reports,  both  State  and  National,  maps, 
charts,  models,  lantern  slides,  and  photographic  illustrations.

STATE  COLLEGE  OF  KENTUCKY. 


In  addition  to  the  facilities  afforded  by  the  in-door  equipment,  the  situ* 
ation  of  the  College  itself  happens  to  be  peculiarly  favorable  from  a geolog- 
ical standpoint.  Located  as  it  is  in  the  center  of  the  Bluegrass  Region,  at 
the  base  of  the  Geological  Series  of  the  State,  it  affords  logically  the  best 
starting-point  lor  the  student  of  Kentucky  geology  who  would  gain  a clear 
comprehension  of  how  the  rock  foundations  of  his  State  have  been  laid. 
Both  for  this  reason,  therefore,  and  because  geology  is  pre-eminently  an  out- 
door study,  the  “Excursion”  is  made  a prominent  feature  of  the  instruction 
in  this  Department.  It  is  by  the  field  work  these  excursions  afford  that  the 
student’s  ability  to  apply  in-door  knowledge  previously  acquired  is  put  to 
the  test,  and  his  powers  of  making  generalizations  in  the  open  air  are  exer- 
cised. 


BRANCHES  OP  STUDY. 

The  general  order  of  succession  in  the  geological  studies  is  as  follows: 
(1)  Palaeontology;  (2)  Mineralogy;  (3)  Advanced  Geology.  Besides  these, 
in  which  what  follows  is  intimately  based  upon  what  precedes,  are  two  self- 
contained  studies,  (4)  A Shorter  Course  in  Geology  and  (5)  Economic  Geol- 
ogy. 


II.  PALAEONTOLOGY. 

Second  Term — Required  of  Juniors  who  elect  as  their  major  study  Geol- 
ogy, Botany,  Zoology,  Anatomy  and  Physiology,  or  Pedagogy. 

Lectures  on  the  nature1  and  zoological  positions  of  different  fossil  groups 
are  given,  and  the  student  is  expected  to  become  familiar  with  the  fossils 
themselvqs  by  actual  examination.  Special  attention  is  paid  to  fossils  com- 
mon in  Kentucky.  The  collections  of  the  department  are  well  suited  for 
this  purpose.  The  instruction  is  entirely  by  lectures  and  laboratory  work. 

II.  MINERALOGY. 

Third  Term — This  study  follows  Palaeontology,  and  is  required  of  the 
same  students,  with  the  addition  of  those  who  elect  Agriculture  as  their 
major. 

The  object  of  the  study  is  to  render  the  students  familiar  with  the  com- 
position and  physical  characters  of  those  common  minerals  and  rocks  likely 
to  be  met  with  both  in  course  of  every-day  observation  and  in  geological 
pursuits.  The  instruction  involves  both  laboratory  and  text-book  work. 
Crosby’s  Tables  for  Determination  and  his  Common  Minerals  and  Rocks  are 
the  books  used. 


III.  ADVANCED  GEOLOGY. 

First  Term — Required  of  students  who  elect  as  their  major  study  Geol- 
ogy, Botany,  Zoology,  or  Pedagogy. 

Candidates  for  A.  B.  may  take  this  or  course  IV.

It  is  meant  to  be  the  culmination  for  those  who  have  availed  themselves 
of  all  the  opportunities  for  the  study  of  Geology  offered  in  this  Department. 
It  is  to  be  hoped  that  some  of  these  students  may  be  induced  to  go  further, 
and  either  in  their  home  localities  or  elsewhere  make  a beginning  of  doing 
original  work.  Kentucky,  with  its  large  amount  of  territory  practically 
unexplored  geologically,  offers  an  especially  fine  field  to  young  geologists. 

Text-book:  Scott’s  Introduction  to  the  Study  of  Geology. 

IV.  SHORTER  COURSE  IN  GEOLOGY. 

First  Term — For  Seniors  who  are  candidates  for  the  degree  of  A.  B. 
The  only  prerequisite  for  this  course  is  the  second  term  of  Zoology. 

Text-book:  Brigham’s  Text-book  of  Geology. 

Second  Term — Required  of  students  wTho  elect  as  their  major  study 
Geology.  Agriculture,  Chemistry,  Physics,  Civil  Engineering,  or  Mining 
Engineering. 

As  the  name  indicates,  it  is  the  practical  or  inorganic  rather  than  the. 
organic  side  of  Geology  that  is  here  made  prominent.  Historical  Geology 
is  studied  briefly  and  in  outline.  Fossils  are  considered  important  in  so  far 
as  they  serve  to  determine  rocks,  whereas  in  General  and  Biological  Geology 
the  reverse  may  be  considered  true.  Structural  Geology  becomes  relatively 
important,  and  Mineralogy  and  Lithology  occupy  a leading  place.  Some  of 
the  topics  of  economic  importance  treated  are:  Common  Rocks  and  Vein- 
forming, Minerals;  Origin  of  Ore  Deposits;  Mining  Terms  and  Methods; 
Coal,  Petroleum;  Natural  Gas  and  Asphal turns;  Building  Stone,  Clay,  and 
Cement;  Geological  Fertilizers;  Relation  of  Geology  to  Agriculture;  Rela- 
tion of  Geology  to  Engineering. 

Text-book:  Tarr’s  Economic  Geology,  supplemented  by  lectures. 

In  addition  to  the  above,  a course  of  about  seven  lectures  on  the  Rela- 
tion of  Geology  to  Agriculture  is  given  in  connection  with  the  Short  Course 
in  Agriculture. 


Zoology. 

EQUIPMENT  AND  FACILITIES. 

The  Department  of  Zoology  occupies  two  rooms  on  the  first  floor  of  the 
Natural  History  Building.  These  rooms  are  provided  with  tables  and  a 
special  set  of  apparatus,  including  compound  microscopes,  for  each  student. 
Besides  this,  there  is  a complete  general  equipment  for  all  lines  of  zoological 
work,  such  as  a full  set  of  zoological  charts,  imported  from  Germany  for 
use  in  the  study  of  systematic  Zodlogy;  microtomes  and  paraffin  baths  for 
work  in  microscopy;  a selection  of  type  skeletons  to  illustrate  osteology; 
alcoholic  specimens  of  both  marine  and  inland  forms  to  illustrate  general 
Zoology,  with  duplicates  for  class  dissections ; and  finally  the  Department  is 
equipped  with  a library  of  standard  zoological  literature,  including  the  lead- 
ing periodicals  devoted  to  the  interests  of  biological  science.  Moreover, 
opportunities  for  collecting,  zodlogical  material,  as  well  as  for  studying  the 
habits  of  living  animals,  are  afforded  by  the  “Excursions”  mentioned  above. 


72 


STATE  COLLEGE  OF  KENTUCKY. 


BRANCHES  OT  STUDY. 

These  are  six,  enumerated  as  follows:  (1)  Systematic  Zoology;  (2) 
Laboratory  Zoology;  (3)  Osteology;  (4)  Embryology;  (5)  Physiological 
Psychology;  (6)  Economic  Entomology. 


X.  SYSTEMATIC  ZOOLOGY. 

First  Term— Required  of  students  who  elect  as  their  major  study 
Geology,  Zoology,  Botany,  Agriculture,  Chemistry,  Pedagogy,  Anatomy  and 
Physiology,  or  Physics. 

A general  presentation  of  the  subject  is  here  attempted.  The  practical 
work  is  limited  to  that  which  can  be  satisfactorily  accomplished  in  exercises 
of  one  hour  each.  Alternating  with  lectures  on  the  different  sub-kingdoms, 
classes  and  orders  of  animals,  accompanied  with  some  species  determination 
by  the  student,  a text-book,  Arthur  Thompson’s  Animal  Life,  is  used  to 
present  to  the  class  in  a form  suitable  for  discussion  such  interesting  topics 
bf  Biology  as  Interrelation  of  Plants  and  Animals,  the  Struggle  for  Exist- 
ence, Coloration  of  Animals,  Social  Life  of  Animals,  Protoplasm,  Origin  of 
Life,  Physiological  Division  of  Labor,  Animal  Psychology,  Principles  of 
Embryology,  The  Past  History  of  Animals,  The  Doctrine  of  Evolution, 
Heredity,  Animal  Life,  and  ours. 

II.  LABORATORY  ZOOLOGY. 

Second  Term — Required  of  those  who  elect  as  their  major  study  Zool- 
ogy, Geology,  Botany,  Pedagogy,  Anatomy  and  Physiology,  or  Agriculture. 

The  work  of  this  term  consists  largely  of  animal  dissection,  and  it  also 
involves  an  extensive  use  of  the  compound  microscope.  Students  are  taught 
not  only  how  to  examine  under  the  microscope  living  organisms  of  small 
size,  but  also  to  prepare  these  and  the  tissues  of  higher  animals  as  perma- 
nent mounts  for  microscopical  study. 

Laboratory  Text-book,:  Needham’s  Zoology,  furnished  to  each  student 
as  a part  of  the  equipment,  for  the  use  of  which  a small  fee  is  charged. 

Third  Term — This  term  is  devoted  to  laboratory  work  exclusively,  and 
this  consists  of  a thorough  study  of  the  anatomy  and  development  of  some 
vertebrate,  as  the  frog. 


III.  OSTEOLOGY. 

First  Term — Required  of  students  who  elect  as  their  major  study 
Zoology,  Anatomy  and  Physiology,  or  Geology. 

Five  hours  a week  are  given  to  the  comparative  study  of  the  vertebrate 
skeleton — chiefly  that  of  Mammalia. 


Text-book:  Fowler’s  Osteology  of  the  Mammalia.

IV.  EMBRYOLOGY. 

Third  Term — Required  of  Juniors  who  elect  as  their  major  study 
Zoology,  Anatomy  and  Physiology  or  Agriculture. 

Five  hours  a week  are  assigned  to  this  study.  Instruction  consists  of 
lectures  upon  the  general  facts  and  principles  of  Embryology,  accompanied 
by  practical  work  on  the  embryonic  development  of  such  vertebrates  as  the 
frog  and  chick. 

Text-book:  Balfour’s  Elements  of  Embryology. 


XVI.  DEPARTMENT  OF  PHYSICS. 

PROFESSOR  PENCE. 

EQUIPMENT  AND  FACILITIES. 

The  Department  of  Physics  occupies  three  rooms  in  the  basement  of 
the  main  College  building.  The  principal  lecture-room  is  eighteen  feet  by 
forty-four  feet.  The  laboratory  is  twenty  feet  by  twenty-four  feet.  The 
third  room  is  twenty  feet  by  twenty-four  feet,  and  is  used  for  both  lecture 
and  laboratory  work.  These  rooms  are  furnished  with  seats,  cases  for  appa- 
ratus, working  tables,  electricity,  gas,  water,  and  drainage.  One  table  is  on 
piers.  There  is  also  a dark  room. 

The  equipment  of  apparatus  for  experimental  and  demonstrative  work 
is  worth  about  3,000.  Some  of  the  better  pieces  are  a Geissler  mercury 
air  pump,  delicate  balances,  a Societe  Genevoise  spectrometer,  a Michelson 
interferometer,  fine  Wheatstone  bridges  and  resistance  sets,  galvanometers, 
magnetometer,  voltameters,  voltmeters,  animeters,  a motor-generator  with 
normal  output  of  twenty  amperes  under  twenty-five  volts,  a storage  battery 
with  normal  output  of  ten  amperes  under  twenty-five  volts,  a fine  X-ray  out- 
put with  a fifteen-inch  spark  induction  coil  from  Queen  & Co.  There  is  also 
a good  library,  which  contains  some  of  the  best  standard  works  on  Physics, 
and  some  of  the  best  current  scientific  literature. 

COURSE  IN  PHYSICS. 

The  course  in  Physics  is  offered  to  those  who  may  find  in  its  schedule 
of  studies  on  page  — , lines  of  work  which  pursued  will  enable  them  to  enter 
successfully  on  some  life  profession.  It  is  intended  for  those  whose  natural 
tastes  and  abilities  lead  them  to  pursue  such  studies,  as  well  as  for  those  who 
wish  to  teach  Physics,  or  to  do  other  work  in  Physical  Science.  In  the 
present  highly  scientific  age,  the  greatest  developments  are  being  made  in 
Physical  Science,  and  those  who  are  best  able  to  utilize  physical  resources, 
are  those  who  are  best  able  to  recognize  physical  laws  and  accurately  inter-

XVII.  DEPARTMENT  of  ENTOMOLOGY . 

PROFESSOR  CARMAN. 

Of  the  Experiment  Station. 

In  the  Agricultural  Course  and  in  the  Scientific  Courses,  in  which  Bot- 
any and  Zoology  are  major  studies,  instruction  in  Entomology  begins  with 
the  second  term  of  the  Senior  year,  students  in  these  courses  meeting  the 
first  hours  of  Tuesdays  and  Thursdays. 

Occasional  inquiries  for  Entomologists  to  fill  positions  in  other  institu- 
tions have  lately  been  received  at  the  College,  and  have  suggested  the 
desirability  of  a special  course  of  study  in  Entomology  that  will  fit  those 
who  pursue  it  for  the  work  required  in  Agricultural  Colleges  and  other  insti- 
tutions. The  Scientific  Course  with  Entomology  as  major  study  is  intended  to 
meet  this  want.  It  is  estimated  by  our  best  entomologists  and  statisticians 
that  we  lose  annually  in  this  country  from  the  depredations  of  injurious 
insects  not  less  than  $100,000,000.  If  this  be  so,  it  is  highly  important  that 
a knowledge  of  insects  and  their  habits  should  be  disseminated  among  the 
people,  and  it  is  especially  important  in  Kentucky,  where  the  leading  indus-* 
try  is  agriculture.  It  has  been  urged  that  a reduction  of  a crop  to  the  extent 
of  one-fourth  or  one-half  of  its  value  by  insects  should  be  regarded  as  a tax 
of  twenty-five  or  fifty  per  cent,  on  its  value.  Such  a tax  is  collected  year 
after  year,  often  without  any  attempt  at  resistance.  It  is  the  purpose  of  the 
Entomological  work  at- the  College  to  place  in  the  hands  of  the  students 
"who  expect  to  make  farming  their  occupation  such  means  of  defense  against 
loss  as  are  known  to  those  who  have  given  the  matter  study.  The  Depart- 


76 


STATE  COLLEGE  OF  KENTUCKY. 


ment  is  especially  well  provided  for  in  this  direction,  having  the  benefit  of 
the  work  done  at  the  Experimental  Station  and  having  access  to  the  collec- 
tions, apparatus,  and  library  accumulated  for  Station  work.  The  collection 
now  contains  examples  of  most  of  the  injurious  insects  which  are  found  in 
the  United  States,  and  is  constantly  being  enlarged.  The  Station  is  well 
supplied  with  breeding  cages  for  use  in  studying  the  habits  and  life-histories 
of  insects,  so  that  students  who  wish  to  do  so  have  an  opportunity  to  observe 
for  themselves  the  various  stages  presented  by  a developing  insect,  and  may 
see  it  in  many  cases  actually  engaged  in  its  destructive  work.  An  insecta- 
rium,  recently  added  to  our  facilities,  gives  us  increased  opportunity  in  this 
field  of  investigation. 


XVIII . DEPARTMENT  OF  MIMING  ENGINEERING. 

PROFESSOR  NORWOOD. 

S’tate  Inspector  of  Mines  and  State  Geologist. 

The  establishment  of  this  School  was  authorized  by  an  Act  of  the  Gen- 
eral Assembly,  session  of  1898.  The  course  is  laid  out  with  the  design  of 
affording  the  student  a thoroughly  good  foundation  for  professional  work  in 
Mining,  Metallurgy,  Assaying  and  Geology,  and  of  so  preparing  him  that 
lie  may  readily  and  quickly  assimilate  that  knowledge  of  the  details  of 
practice  which  may  be  gained  only  through  experience.  The  effort  is  made 
to  acquaint  the  student  not  only  with  the  methods  of  mining  and  mine 
management  in  particular,  but  to  give  him  such  instruction  in  mechanical 
and  civil  engineering  as  may  satisfy  the  needs  of  the  modern  mining  engi- 
neer. The  schedule  of  studies  for  the  first  two  years,  while  distinctive  in 
some  minor  respects,  upon  the  whole  is  closely  similar  to  those  followed 
during  the  second  years  in  the  Schools  of  Mechanical  Engineering  and  of 
Civil  Engineering.  Actual  differentiation  occurs  at  the  entrance  of  the  Junior 
year. 

The  course  in  mining  is  made  £&  “practical”  as  the  limitations  of  col- 
lege instruction  permit.  With  this  in  view,  the  equipment  project  for  the 
Mining  Laboratory  includes  the  installation  of  such- an  ore  dressing  and 
coal  washing,  plant  as  will  permit  work  to  be  conducted  along  practical  lines. 
It  is  intended  that  the  Laboratory  shall  not  only  serve  the  purpose  of 
instruction,  but  that  it  shall  prove  helpful,  as  a testing  laboratory,  to  those 
engaged  i^  mining  operations  in  the  coal,  lead,  zinc  and  spar  districts  of 
the  State. As  part  of  the  equipment,  therefore,  a standard,  full-sized  Wil- 
fiey  concentrating  table  -has  been  installed.  A Hallett  Hand  Jig  has  also 
been  added;  and  a standard  three-compartment  Hartz  Jig  has  been  promised 
by  a friend  of  the  College.  Through  the  generosity  of  Mr/ John  B.  Atkin- 
son, President  of  the  St.  Bernard  Mining  Company,  Earlington,  Ky.,  the 
laboratory  is  provided  with  a complete  ventilating  fan  and  fanhouse,  a 
Campbell  coal-washer,  and  a complete  model  of  the  St.  Bernard  Mining 
Company’s  large  coal-washing  plant.  The  fan  has  been  so  installed  that 


STATE  COLLEGE  OF  KENTUCKY. 


77 


various  problems  relating  to  mine  ventilation  may  be  readily  studied.  The 
machines  are  operated  by  electric  motor. 

In  Chemistry  three  terms  are  required.  In  the  Sophomore  year  the 
course  consists  of  lectures  and  recitations  on  the  non-metals  and  their  com- 
pounds, and  the  simpler  laws  of  chemical  change.  In  the  Junior  year,  the 
first  term  is  devoted  to  the  study  of  the  metals  and  their  more  important 
compounds,  and  to  qualitative  analysis.  Laboratory  work  in  quanitative 
analysis  is  taken  up  in  the  third  term. 

In  Metallurgy  two  terms  of  work  are  required.  The  first  term’s  work 
is  the  same  as  that  required  in  the  Course  of  Mechanical  Engineering  and 
of  Civil  Engineering.  Huntington  and  Macmillan’s  text-book  is  used  as  a 
guide,  and  nine  or  ten  metals,  including  iron,  copper,  zinc,  tin,  lead,  nickel, 
cobalt,  silver,  and  gold  are  studied.  The  work  of  the  second  term,  which 
occurs  in  the  Junior  year,  consists  of  practical  work  in  the  Metallurgical 
Laboratory,  and  will  include  assaying,  together  with  the  more  comprehen- 
sive study  of  certain  processes  for  the  extraction  of  silver  and  gold,  such  as 
the  amalgamation,  chlorination  and  cyanide  processes. 

The  instruction  in  the  special  theme  of  Mining  (including  both  coal  and 
metal),  which  begins  with  the  Junior  year,  is  laid  out  along  a continuous 
line,  each  subject  being  introductory  to  that  which  follows,  and  is  given  by 
lectures,  supplemented  by  text-books  and  special  reading.  The  Department 
is  equipped  with  an  excellent  electric  light  stereopticon,  and  a reflectoscope, 
with  a large  number  of  special  slides  for  illustrating  lectures,  and  in  addi- 
tion thereto  many  charts  and  “blue  prints,”  illustrating  mining  methods 
and  mining  machinery,  have  been  procured.  A general  statement  of  the 
subjects  discussed  under  the  head  of  Mining  is  given  under  the  appropriate 
years. 

The  State  College  is  exceptionally  well  situated  with  reference  to  the 
practical  study  of  both  coal  and  metal  mining  (including  lead,  zinc,  and 
iron),  and  for  the  study  of  metallurgical  practice  in  certain  lines,  there 
being  within  the  State  numerous  coal  and  metal  mines,  and  several  iron  and 
steel  metallurgical  establishments,  within  easy  reach  of  Lexington.  Prac- 
tical work  in  concentrating  lead  ores  may  be  studied  at  the  Gr.atz  and  the 
Kissinger  mines,  in  near-by  counties-.  At  the  Gratz  mine  the  plant  includes 
crushers,  jigs,  a Huntington  fnill-,  and  Woodbury  concentrators.  At  the 
Kissinger  mine  the  plant  includes  crusher,  rolls,  Huntington  mill,  Wood- 
bury concentrators,  and  a smelter.  The  latter  mine  may  be  reached  by  trolley 
line  and  a short  drive.  Elaborate  lead  and  zinc  concentrating  plants  may 
be  studied  in  the  western  part  of  the  State.  Coal- washing  and  coking  may 
be  studied  at  Ashland,  where  a Robinson  washer  is  used,  and  at  Earlington, 
where  a Campbell  plant  is  in  operation.  The  copper  mines  of  Tennessee, 
the  iron  mines  of  Virginia,  Alabama  and  Tennessee,  .and  the  gold  mining 
regions,  of  Alabama  and  Georgia,  with  their  accompanying  metallurgical 
plants,  may.  be  reached  within  twenty-four  hours  or  less  of  travel.

STATE  COLLEGE  OF  KENTUCKY. 


The  Normal  School. 


The  Normal  School  prepares  teachers  for  service  in  the  rural  schools 
and  elementary  graded  schools  of  the  State.  It  comprises  three  courses, 
corresponding  to  the  three  classes  of  certificates  named  in  the  School  Law, 
viz.:  State  Diploma,  State  Certificate,  and  County  Certificate. 

The  State  Diploma  Course  is  made  up  of  all  the  common  school  sub- 
jects and,  in  addition,  Higher  Arithmetic,  Algebra,  Plane  Geometry,  Ele- 
mentary Physics,  Elementary  Latin,  and  Psychology.  The  State  Diploma 
is  a life  certificate. 

The  State  Certificate  Course  comprises,  besides  the  common  school 
branches,  the  advanced  subjects  of  Higher  Arithmetic,  Algebra,  English 
and  American  Literature,  and  Psychology.  The  State  Certificate  is  valid 
for  eight  years,  in  all  parts  of  the  State,  and  is  renewable  for  another  eight 
years. 

The  County  Certificate  Course  is  made  up  of  the  common  school  sub- 
jects in  which  applicants  for  a county  certificate  must  be  examined. 

Other  branches  will,  it  is  now  expected,  be  provided  for  in  1905,  and 
thereafter.  These  branches  will  be  Penmanship,  Freehand  Drawing,  Vocal 
Music,  and  Nature  Study.  Of  these,  only  Penmanship  is  required  in  most 
schools  of  the  State;  but  it  will  not  be  many  years  until  the  others  also  will 
be  required.  In  fact,  Drawing,  Vocal  Music,  and  Elementary  Science  are 
now  demanded  in  not  a few  graded  schools.  The  Normal  School  of  the 
State  College  aims  not  only  to  prepare  teachers  to  meet  the  bare  require- 
ments of  the  law,  but  to  fit  them  also  both  to  create  and  to  satisfy  a popular 
demand  for  the  teaching  of  all  the  subjects  of  the  best  modern  elementary 
curriculum. 

Capable  students  in  either  of  the  lower  courses  may,  with  the  consent 
of  the  Dean,  take  advanced  branches  in  the  State  Diploma  Courses. 

General  Pedagogy — Theory  and  Practice — constitutes  a special  feature 
of  each  course  throughout  each  term  of  the  year.  This  class  is  a purely 
professional  one,  in  which  all  questions  pertaining  to  the  organization,  man- 
agement, and  teaching  of  elementary  schools  are  fully  discussed.  Partici- 
pation in  the  work  of  this  class  is  vital  to  the  best  success  of  the  teacher. 

Forensics,  a thorough  training  in  the  practice  of  public  speaking  is  a 
special  advantage  offered  by  the  Normal  School.  The  whole  school  is 
placed  in  sections  sufficiently  small  to  enable  each  student  to  get  the  benefit 
that  comes  from  frequent  practice  in  forensics.  The  work  is  in  charge  of 
the  Dean. 

City  examinations  are  provided  for  in  the  several  courses  above  named. 
Many  city  school  boards  in  the  State  accept  the  State  Certificate.  In  other 
cases,  a course  preparatory  to  a special  examination  can  be  made  up  out  of 
the  regular  courses  described  in  the  preceding  paragraphs. 


STATE  COLLEGE  OF  KENTUCKY. 


105 


County  Superintendents  and  Examiners.  Although  the  Normal  School 
has  not  heretofore  had  proper  facilities  for  especially  fitting  County  Super- 
intendents and  County  Examiners  for  their  distinctive  work,  yet  fifteen  per 
cent,  of  the  present  County  Superintendents  in  the  State  have  been  pre- 
pared here  for  their  examination  for  eligibility,  and  for  the  more  successful 
discharge  of  their  official  duties.  Very  many  County  Examiners  have  also 
had  their  preparation  in  the  Normal  School. 

It  is  intended  to  offer  in  the  session  of  1905-6,  and  thereafter,  special 
courses  for  those  who  desire  to  prepare  for  service  as  County  Superintend- 
ents. These  courses  will  comprise,  in  addition  to  the  required  academic 
studies,  special  instruction  in  Psychology,  General  Pedagogy,  and  in  School 
Law. 

Text-books:  In  the  Professional  Course  the  text-books  are  those  used  in  the 
same  branches  in  the  other  four  years’  courses  of  the  College.  In  the  work  in 
Pedagogy  the  books  used  are  Roark’s  Psychology  in  Education,  Roark’s  Method 
in  Education,  White’s  and  Baldwin’s  School  Management,  and  Seeley’s  History  of 
Education.  In  the  County  Certificate  Course  the  books  used  are  Dubb’s  Arithme- 
tic, Peterman’s  Civil  Government,  Chittenden’s  Elements  of  English  Composi- 
tion, Natural  Advanced  Geography,  Holbrook’s  Complete  Grammar,  Montgomery’s 
History  of  the  United  States,  Kinkead’s  History  of  Kentucky,  Martin’s  Human 
Body  (smaller  edition),  Roberts’  Rules  of  Order,  and  Roark’s  General  Outline

schools. 

Every  applicant,  to  be  admitted  to  the  Academy,  is  required  to  pass  a

time  for  the  performance;  and,  if  any  student  shall  deliver  an  address,,  or

loma and  his  degree,  if  any  has  been  awrarded,  may  be  withheld.

By  the  terms  of  the  recent  legislation  upon  the  Agricultural  and  Me-

traveling  expenses  from  his  home  to  the  College  and  return  paid  by  the  Col- 
lege on  the  following  conditions: 

1st.  He  must  be  appointed  according  to  law,  a copy  of  which  is  in  the 
hands  of  each  County  Superintendent  of  Schools. 

2d.  He  must  travel  from  home  to  the  College  by  the  shortest,  least  ex- 
pensive, and  the  most  expeditious  route,  and  take  receipts  for  all  necessary

STATE  COLLEGE  OF  KENTUCKY.

COLLEGE  EXPENSES. 


The  necessary  expenses  of  a student  while  at  College  need  not  exceed 
the  following  estimates.  As  a rule,  the  less  pocket-money  allowed  by  parents 
or  guardians,  the  better  it  is  for  the  pupil.  When  supplies  of  pocket-money 
are  kept  short,  the  opportunity  for  contracting  vicious  habits  is  correspond- 
ingly diminished.  Students  should  not  be  allowed  by  their  parents  to  create 
any  debts.  All  moneys  intended  for  the  use  of  the  students  should  be  de- 
posited with  the  Commandant. 

For  a county  appointee,  occupying  a room  in  the  dormitory,  the  neces- 
sary expenses  are  as  follows: 


Tuition  free $00  00 

Matriculation  free 00  00 

Gymnasium  free 00  00 

Room  rent  free 00  00 

Use  of  furniture 2 50 

Washing,  about 10  00 

Uniform  16  00 

Books,  about 10  00 


Total 


$38  50 


Board  in  clubs,  $2  per  week;  in  families,  $3  to  $4.  For  students  not  county 
appointees  the  necessary  expenses  are: 


Tuition  for  Mechanical,  Civil,  Electrical  and  Mining  En- 


gineering   $40  00 

Tuition  for  Classical,  Scientific  and  Normal  School  Courses  25  00 


Matriculation  fee.. 5 00 

Gymnasium  fee 5 00 

For  each  laboratory,  fee 5 00 

Washing,  about 10  00 

Room  and  furniture 6 50 

Uniform  16  00 

Books,  about 10  00 


Board  in  clubs,  about  $2.00  per  week;  in  families,  $3.00  to  $4.00.  All  who 
occupy  rooms  in  the  dormitories  make  a deposit  of  $5.00  to  cover  damage 
done  during  their  occupancy.  This  is  refunded  at  the  close  of  the  year,  less 
the  amount  of  damage  assessed  against  the  depositor. 

Board  and  lodging  are  provided  in  Patterson  Hall  for  young  women,  at 
$3.00  per  week,  they  furnishing  their  own  bed  clothes  and  towels.  This  hand- 
some three-story  building,  a fourth  of  a mile  from  the  College,  can  accom- 
modate 125  students. 


DIPLOMA. 

By  order  of  the  Board  of  Trustees,  a fee  of  $5.00  will  hereafter  be 
charged  for  each  diploma  issued  by  the  College.

STATE  COLLEGE  OF  KENTUCKY. 


TREE  TUITION,  BENEFICIARIES. 

Each  Legislative  Representative  District  is  allowed  to  send,  on  competi- 
tive examination,  one  properly  prepared  student  each  year  to  this  College, 
free  of  charge  for  tuition. 

[A  statement  for  the  guidance  of  County  Superintendents:  1.  If  the  county 
forms  one  or  more  than  one  Legislative  Representative  District,  each  district  is 
entitled  to  keep  four  students  in  the  College  and  four  in  the  Normal  School  free 
of  tuition.  2.  If  a Legislative  Representative  District  embraces  more  than  one 
county,  each  county  is  entitled  to  keep  four  students  in  the  College  and  four  in 
the  Normal  School  free  of  tuition.] 

Beneficiaries  are  appointed  on  competitive  examination.  A Board  of  Exam- 
iners is  appointed  for  this  purpose  by  the  County  Superintendent  of  common 
schools.  The  results  of  examination  are  reported  to  the  Superintendent,  who 
from  the  data  thus  furnished  selects  the  appointee.  Examinations  are  made 
upon  subjects  transmitted  to  the  County  Superintendent  by  the  Faculty  of  the 
College.  One  appointment  is  made  each  year. 

Appointments  are  made  by  the  County  Superintendent  between  the  first  day 
of  June  and  the  first  day  of  August  of  each  year.  Appointments  when  made 
should  be  immediately  certified  to  the  President  of  the  College. 

Appointments  for  the  College  proper,  viz.,  the  Agricultural,  Mechanical 
Engineering,  Civil  Engineering,  Scientific,  Classical,  and  Normal  Collegiate 
courses,  are  all  valid  for  the  term  of  years  necessary  to  complete  the  course 
of  study  in  which  the  appointee  matriculates.  This  includes  the  course  in  the! 
Academy. 

It  follows  from  the  above  that  a county  which  makes  its  appointments  regu- 
larly according  to  law  will  have  for  the  session  of  1901-2  one  appointment  to 
the  College;  for  the  session  of  1902-3  two  appointees;  for  the  session  of  1903-4 
three  appointees;  for  the  session  of  1904-5  four  appointees.  When  the  first  ap- 
pointee completes  his  course,  or  ceases  to  b a student,  another  appointee  takes 
his  place.  When  the  quota  of  a county  is  full  it  will  have  at  least  four  ap~ 
pointees  in  regular  attendance. 

Each  appointee  is  required  to  pass  an  entrance  examination  at  the  College 
on  the  subjects  comprising  all  that  is  embraced  in  Arithmetic,  English  Gram- 
mar, Geography,  and  United  States  History  in  the  common  school  course. 

All  persons  are  eligible  between  the  ages  of  fourteen  and  twenty-four  who 
have  completed  the  common  school  course — preference  being  given  to  young 
men  or  women  whose  means  are  limited,  to  aid  whom  this  provision  is  es- 
pecially intended. 

Any  person  not  an  appointee  may  enter  the  College  on  payment  of  fees, 
but  no  one  who  is  not  an  appointee  receives  traveling  expenses  or  is  exempt 
from  the  payment  of  fees. 

APPOINTEES  TO  THE  NORMAL  COURSE. 

The  law  makes  provision  for  the  appointment  of  four  teachers,  or  persons 
preparing  to  teach,  each  year.  Appointments  may  he  made  and  certified  to 
the  President  of  the  College  between  the  first  day  of  July  and  the  thirty-first 
day  of  December  of  each  year. 


STATE  COLLEGE  OF  KENTUCKY. 


167 


Appointments  to  the  Normal  School  are  tenable  for  one  year. 

Applicants  for  appointments  are  examined  by  a Board  of  Examiners  ap: 
pointed  by  the  County  Superintendent  on  subjects  transmitted  by  the  Faculty, 
viz.:  upon  Arithmetic,  English  Grammar,  United  Statesi  History,  and  Geogra- 
phy. They  should  not  be  less  than  seventeen  yeaps  of  age.  They  are  also 
required  to  pass  an  entrance  examination  at  the  College.  They  must  likewise 
bring  certificates  of  good  moral  character. 

Matriculates  of  the  Normal  Department  will  be  required  to  sign  an  obliga- 
tion to  teach  in  the  Common  Schools  of  Kentucky  for  as  many  months  as  they 
receive  for  tuition. 


SPECIAL  COURSES  OP  STUDY. 

Special  courses  of  study  are  not  provided  for  in  the  Academy,  the  Normal 
School,  or  the  College  proper;  provided,  however,  that  persons  who  have  passed 
the  age  of  twenty-four  years,  the  limit  below  which  appointments  as  bene- 
ficiaries under  the  law  must  be  made,  may  under  certain  conditions  be  allowed 
to  pursue  selected  studies  without  matriculating  in  one  of  the  regular  courses 
of  the  College. 

CHANGE  OF  CLASSIPICATION. 

No  student  shall  be  allowed  to  change  his  or  her  course  of  study  from  one 
department  of  the  College  to  another,  until  he  or  she  shall  have  completed  and 
passed  a satisfactory  examination  on  each  subject  hitherto  studied  in  the  de- 
partment of  which  he  or  she  is  a matriculate;  and  no  change  of  courses  shall 
be  permitted  during  the  current  year. 

ACCREDITED  SCHOOLS. 

Schools,  whether  public  or  private,  may  be  accredited  in  accordance  with 
a resolution  of  the  Faculty  providing  that  graduates  of  these  may  be  exempted 
from  entrance  examinations  to  the  College  when  the  heads  of  these  schools 
have  complied  with  certain  conditions. 

Further,  the  Board  of  Trustees  have  made  an  annual  award  of  a free 
scholarship  to  the  pupil  in  each  accredited  school  who  has  completed  the  certi- 
fied course  with  the  highest  class  standing.  This  scholarship  entitles  the 
recipient  to  free  tuition.  If,  in  addition,  the  holder  of  a scholarship  obtains 
the  “County  Appointment,”  he  is  entitled  to  free  room  in  one  of  the  dormitories 
and  free  traveling  expenses. 

A revised  list  of  these  schools  is  appended:

Upon  application,  printed  forms  will  be  sent  to  the  heads  of  schools  who 
may  desire  to  have  them  placed  in  the  list  of  the  accredited  schools.  These 
forms  are  to  be  filled  out  with  an  announcement  of  the  courses  of  study  and 
mailed  to  the  Chairman  of  the  Committee  on  Accredited  Schools  at  the 
State  College. 

Only  pupils  from  duly  accredited  schools  will  be  admitted  to  the  Col- 
lege without  examination,  and  they  must  present  a certificate  from  their 
superintendent  or  principal  and  it  must  bear  the  signature  of  the  President 
of  the  State  College. 

Every  pupil  who  completes  an  accredited  course  is  entitled  to  a certifi- 
cate attesting  the  fact,  and  heads  of  schools  in  the  foregoing  list  will  oblige 
the  College  Committee  on  Accredited  Schools  by  sending  promptly  their 
recommendations  for  certificates  and  scholarships. 

MANUAL  LABOR. 

The  work  necessary  for  carrying  on  the  agricultural  and  horticultural 
operations  of  the  College  is  done  by  the  students,  and  is  paid  for  at  rates 
varying  from  six  to  ten  cents  per  hour.  Its  design  is  two-fold:  To  put  in 
practice  the  instruction  received  in  the  class-room,  and  to  assist  students 
who  are  in  need  of  money.  The  experience  of  this  College  is  that  of  Agri- 
cultural Colleges  generally — that  compensated  labor  is  not  remunerative  to 
the  College. 

The  College  assumes  no  obligation  to  furnish  students  an  opportunity  to 
labor  for  compensation. 

Students  are  paid  monthly  for  the  service  rendered,  and  apply  the  money 
as  they  see  proper. 

No  student , however,  should  come  to  this  College  expecting  to  maintain 


170 


STATE  COLLEGE  OF  KENTUCKY. 


himself  exclusively  by  compensated  labor.  At  least  seventy-five  dollars  per 
annum,  exclusive  of  his  earnings  while  here,  should  be  at  the  command  of 
every  student  who  wishes  to  avail  himself  of  the  advantages  of  the  system  of 
compensated  labor. 


CERTIFICATES  OF  CHARACTER. 

All  applicants  for  admission  into  any  class  of  the  College  or  Academy 
must  bring  satisfactory  testimonials  of  good  moral  character. 

THE  MONITRESS. 

The  young  women  who  attend  the  College  have  assigned  for  their  exclu- 
sive use  a large  and  well-appointed  study-room.  Here,  while  they  are  not 
engaged  in  the  class  rooms  or  in  the  chapel,  they  are  under  the  constant  and 
strict  supervision  of  the  Monitress,  Mrs.  Blackburn,  who  has  long  been 
connected  with  the  College  and  is  well  qualified  for  her  duties. 

ENLISTMENT  OF  CADETS. 

By  a resolution  of  the  Faculty,  approved  by  the  Board  of  Trustees,  no 
cadet  of  the  State  College  is  allowed  to  enlist  in  the  State  Guards. 

RULES  OF  CLASSIFICATION. 

1.  No  student  shall  be  considered  as  belonging  to  a given  class,  unless 
he  takes  at  least  three  studies  selected  in  that  class  or  in  a higher. 

2.  No  student  shall  pass  into  a higher  class  while  he  has  to  make  up 
Studies  required  of  him  in  the  preceding  year. 

3.  Students  may  be  permitted,  by  the  Deans  of  their  courses  and  the 
Professors  with  whom  they  take  their  major  studies,  to  register  for  studies 
not  more  than  one  year  in  advance  of  their  classification.

under  the  acts  of  Congress  of  July  2,  1862,  and  August  30,  1890,  and  to  the 
agricultural  experiment  stations,  which,  with  a few  exceptions,  have  been  organ- 
ized under  the  act  of  Congress  of  March  2,  1887,  and  are  conducted  as  depart- 
ments of  the  institutions  receiving  the  benefits  of  the  land-grant  act  of  July  2, 
1862,  are  abstracts  of  statistics  which  will  be  published  later  in  the  Annual 
Report  of  the  Office  of  Experiment  Stations.  They  have  been  compiled  in  part 
from  replies  to  a circular  of  inquiry  sent  out  from  this  office  and  in  part  from 
the  annual  reports  of  the  presidents  of  these  institutions  made  on  the  schedules

SUMMARY  OF  STATISTICS  OF  STATIONS. 

Agricultural  experiment  stations  are  now  in  operation  under  the  act  of 
Congress  of  March  2,  1 887,  in  all  the  States  and  Territories,  and  under  special 
appropriation  acts  in  Alaska,  Hawaii,  and  Porto  Rico. 

In  Connecticut.  New  Jersey,  New  York,  Hawaii,  Missouri,  Alabama,  and 
Louisiana  separate  stations  are  maintained  wholly  or  in  part  by  State  funds. 
A number  of  substations  are  also<  maintained  in  different  States'.  Excluding 
the  substations,  the  total  number  of  stations  in  the  United  Stateis  isi  stfxty. 
Of  these,  fifty-five  receive  appropriations  provided  for  by  acts  of  Congress. 

The  total  income1  of  the  stations  maintained  under  the  act  of  1887  during 
1904  was  $1,508,820.25,  of  which  $719,999.67  was  received  from  the  National 
Government,  the  remainder,  $788,820.58,  coming  from  the  following  sources:

hundred  and  fourteen  station  officers  do  more  or  less  teaching  in  the  colleges 
with  which  the  stations  are  connected.  During  the  year  the  stations  pub- 
lished 393  annual  reports  and  bulletins,  which  were  supplied  to  nearly  700,000 
addresses  on  the  regular  mailing  lists.  A larger  number  of  stations  than  for- 
merly supplemented  their  regular  publications  with  more  or  less  frequent  issues 
of  press  bulletins  and  other  special  publications,  and  most  of  the  stations

President  James  K.  Patterson,  LL.  D.: 

Dear  Sir:  In  accordance  with  your  request,  I submit  to  you  the  following 
report  of  the  Agricultural  Course  for  the  biennial  period  1903-5. 

I am  glad  to  be  able  to  report  that  the  increasing  interest  in  the  agricul- 
tural work  reported  two  j^ears  ago,  still  continues,  and  is  manifesting  itself  in 
a gradual  increase  in  the  enrollment.  The  number  registered  for  the  regular 
course  for  1902-3  was  thirteen,  in  the  following  year  eighteen,  and  in  1904-5 
nineteen.  At  this  writing,  the  present  year  shows  a further  increase.  There 
is  additional  encouragement  in  the  fact  that  our  graduates,  upon  leaving  col- 
lege, are  promptly  finding  openings  in  desirable  and  responsible  positions. 

The  character  of  the  wrork  given  in  the  course  during  the  past  twoi  years 
has  not  differed  materially  from  that  of  the  preceding  period.  The  first  two 
years  of  the  course  are  nearly  identical  with  the  Scientific  course,  the  distinc- 
tive work  in  agriculture  being  given  mainly  in  the  Junior  and  Senior  years. 

Much  of  the  most  important  work  of  the  course  has  been  made  possible! 
heretofore  through  the  cooperation  of  the  officers  of  the  Experiment  Station 
in  giving  courses  of  instruction  in  their  respective  specialties,  and  I desire  to 
express  my  sincere  appreciation  of  this  aid  on  the  part  of  Director  Scovell  and 
Professors  Garman,  Harper  and  May.  Professor  Garman  in  particular,  in  his 
important  branch  of  Entomology,  has  given  quite  extended  courses  to  our 
students. 

I desire  also  to  gratefully  acknowledge  the  aid  of  the  United  States  Depart- 
ment of  Agriculture,  which  Department,  as  a result  of  arrangements  made 
by  yourself  with  Secretary  Wilson,  detailed  an  officer  of  the  Division  of  Soils 
for  instruction  in  this  institution  in  the  winter  term  of  1903-4.  This,  position 
was  very  acceptably  filled  by  Mr.  C.  W.  Dorsey,  who  gave  a course  upon  soils 
to  an  appreciative  class  throughout  the  month  of  January,  1904. 

Notwithstanding  the  valuable  aid  given  by  the  Experiment  Station  officers 
in  agricultural  instruction,  it  has  long  been  felt  to  be  highly  desirable  that 
more  extended  courses  should  be  given  to  our  students  in  agriculture  propel 
and  in  animal  husbandry.  The  instruction  given  by  these  gentlemem  has  been 
necessarily  limited  by  the  demands  of  their  regular  duties,  and,  except  in  Ento- 
mology, has  been  confined  almost  exclusively  to  the  winter  term. 

It  is  a source  of  great  satisfaction  to  the  writer,  that,  since  the  Close  of 
the  biennial  period  under  discussion,  the  Board  of  Trustees  has  provided  for 
more  extended  instruction  in  these  fundamental  subjects  of  the  course,  by 
establishing  an  assistant  professorship  in  Agriculture  and  Animal  Husbandry, 
and  by  the  appointment  of  Mr.  J.  J.  Hooper,  of  Texas,  latterly  of  Iowa,  to  the 
position.  With  this  addition  to  our  teaching  staff,  full  courses  of  instruction 
have  been  arranged  and  begun  in  Soils  and  Crops,  Stock  Breeding,  Feeding  and 
Judging,  Dairying,  Farm  Mechanics  and  Rural  Architecture,  that  will  greatly 
strengthen  the  course. 

Now  that  more  extended  instruction  has  been  secured  in  Agriculture  proper, 
it  becomes  especially  evident  that  Horticulture  should  be  more  adequately  pro- 
vided for.  The  instruction  in  this  subject  has  been  confined  to  the  two  shorter 


188 


STATE  COLLEGE  OF  KENTUCKY. 


terms  of'  the  Junior  year,  and  but  little  time  has  been  available  for  the  most 
essential  feature  of  the  work — the  laboratory  instruction.  Several  important 
phases  of  horticultural  instruction  have  not  been  touched  upon  at  all.  These 
limitations  have  been  due  in  part  to  lack  of  facilities,  and  in  part  also  to 
lack  of  hours  in  which  to  give  such  instruction,  owing  to  the  large!  demands 
upon  the  writer’s  time  in  the  botanical  work  of  the  College,  which  also  con- 
sists largely  of  laboratory  study,  and  thus  conflicts  with  any  material  extension 
in  the  horticultural  teaching. 

The  work  in  horticulture  should  be  enlarged  as  speedily  as  possible  to 
include  laboratory  courses  in  pomology  and  vegetable  gardening  (now  largely 
consisting  of  lecture  and  text-book  instruction),  plant  breeding,  landscape 
horticulture,  forcing  house  crops,  and  ultimately  floriculture.  Every  one 
of  these  subjects  is  essential  to  a well-rounded  course  of1  horticultural  instruc- 
tion, and  they  are  offered  in  a large  majority  of  the  land-grant  colleges. 

These  requirements  could  be  met,  to  a considerable  degree,  by  the  employ- 
ment of  an  instructor  who  could  take  charge  regularly  of  some  of  the  classes 
which  must  be  carried  on  simultaneously  with  my  own,  and  it  is  earnestly 
hoped  that  some  provision  of  this  kind  may  be  arranged  by  the  next  collegiate 
year. 

It  is  believed  that  the  time  is  ripe  also  for  the  introduction  of  the  study  of 
Forestry  in  this  institution.  There  are  few,  if  any,  States  in  which  the  present 
and  prospective  interests  in  forest  growth  and  lumbering  are  any  greater  than 
in  Kentucky.  These  occupations  are  closely  allied  and  frequently  coincident 
with  the  agricultural  interests  of  the  Commonwealth.  There  is  a widespread 
awakening  as  to  the  importance  of  this  subject,  and  considerable  agitation  rela- 
tive to  the  matter  has  already  begun  in  our  State,  which  has  resulted  in  fre- 
quent inquiries  about  forestry  being  sent  to  the  college  and  station.  The  State 
College  is  manifestly  the  institution  in  which  the  interests  of  this  subject 
should  center,  and  right  here  the  initiative  should  be  taken  looking  toward 
the  training  of  men  to  take  charge  of  the  rapidly  developing  interests  of  this 
important  science.  A beginning  could  be  made  by  incorporating  studies  in 
this  branch  in  the  Agricultural  course,  a plan  which  has  been  successfully  fol- 
lowed in  many  other  land- grant  colleges.  If  the  right  man  could  be  secured, 
the  instructorship  referred  to  above  would,  when  provided,  make  it  possible 
to  initiate  an  elementary  course  in  this  subject. 

It  is  proposed  to  make  renewed  efforts  to  secure  interests  and  attendance 
upon  a short  business  course  in  agriculture  for  farmers’  sons  during  the  next 
winter  term.  It  has  been  exceedingly  difficult  in  years  past,  with  our  available 
teaching  force,  to  provide  adequately  for  these  short-course  students,  Since 
in  many  cases  it  is  desirable,  and  in  others  necessary,  that  the  instruction 
of  the  regular  students  should  be  materially  modified  to  meet  the  needs  of  these 
special  students,  thus  requiring  considerable  duplication  of  the  teacher’s  work. 
With  the  accession  of  an  assistant  professor  this  difficulty  will  be  in  a great 
measure  overcome. 

To  provide  for  any  satisfactory  further  expansion  of  the  Agricultural 
course  it  is  necessary  for  us  to  have  a building.  At  present  the  Agricultural 
Department  proper  does  not  possess  a single  building,  or  even  a single  room 
upon  cur  College  grounds,  devoted  exclusively  to  agricultural  instruction.  This 


STATE  COLLEGE  OF  KENTUCKY. 


189 


course  can  not  attain  its  full  usefulness  or  take  its  rightful  rank  in  the  in- 
stitution until  it  possesses  a suitable  material  foundation  for  its  work  comparar 
ble  to  the  equipment  always  deemed  indispensable  for  the  conduct  of  any* 
engineering  course. 

We  need  rooms  for  lecture  and  laboratory  purposes  in  Agriculture  proper, 
in  animal  husbandry,  in  horticulture,  and  forestry;  large  rooms  for  the 
storage  and  handling  of  farm  engines,  implements  and  machinery,  and  for  such 
wood-working  and  forging  as  are  necessary  for  the  work  in  farm  mechanics; 
a drawing  room  for  rural  architecture  and  landscape  gardening,  and,  finally, 
glass  structures  for  plant  propagation,  for  vegetable  forcing  and  othef  forms  of 
winter  laboratory  study. 

Although  Kentucky  is  pre-eminently  an  agricultural  State,  we  are  behind 
most  of  the  land-grant  colleges  in  our  equipment  for  agricultural  instruction. 
A number  of  the  prominent  agricultural  States  have  appropriated  hundreds 
of  thousands  of  dollars  specifically  for  agricultural  buildings  and  equipment. 

In  view  of  our  needs  and  the  rank  Kentucky  holds  as  an  agricultural  Com- 
monwealth, it  seems  to  me  that  we  make  a very  modest  request  if  we  appeal 
to  our  next  General  Assembly  for  an  appropriation  of  $50,000  for  a building 
and  equipment  for  the  education  of  Kentucky  youth  in  agriculture, 

Respectfully  submitted,

STATE  COLLEGE  OF  KENTUCKY. 


As  will  be  noted  in  the  classification  above,  there  appears  to  be  a falling 
off  in  the  number  of  students  in  this  department  for  the  year  1904-5.  This, 
however,  is  more  apparent  than  real,  and  is  accounted  for  mainly  by  the 
fact  that  in  the  second  of  these  two  years,  no  short  winter  course  in  agri- 
culture was  offered,  and  also  because  the  special  course  given  by  Mr.  Dorsey 
in  1903-4  was  not  repeated  the  following  winter. 

The  work  of  the  department  has  been  carried  on  in  the  same  general 
way  as  in  the  preceding  similar  period.  The  botanical  studies  are  con- 
ducted mainly  in  the  form  of  laboratory  work,  supplemented  by  lectures, 
recitations  and  written  examinations. 

The  Freshman  botany  is  arranged  to  correspond  with  the  work  usually 
given  in  high  schools,  and  is  not  required  of  those  students  who  have  taken 
a satisfactory  high  school  course. 

The  regular  Sophomore  work  is  begun  with  a study  of  the  compound 
microscope,  the  student  being  given  a preliminary  course  of  instruction  in 
the  care  and  use  of  this  instrument  before  applying  it  to  his  botanical 
work  proper.  The  work  of  this  year  provides  a rather  comprehensive  general 
survey  of  the  entire  plant  kingdom,  so  arranged  because  many  of  the  class 
do  not  continue  their  studies  in  botany  beyond  this  year,  and  also  because 
this  plan  secures  a very  satisfactory  introduction  to  the  subject  for  those 
who  carry  their  work  farther. 

The  studies  of  the  Junior  year  include  as  their  main  botanical  subjects 
the  minute  anatomy  of  plants,  plant  physiology,  and  economic  botany.  In 
this  year  also  is  given  a large  proportion  of  the  instruction  in  horticulture 
and  agriculture  proper.  For  several  years  past,  as  referred  to  in  the  accom- 
panying report  of  the  agricultural  course,  much  of  the  agricultural  instruc- 
tion has  been  voluntarily  given  by  the  officers  of  the  Kentucky  Agricultural 
Experiment  Station.  With  the  beginning  of  the  present  year,  however,  an 
assistant  professorship  in  agriculture  and  animal  husbandry  has  been  created, 
and,  as  a result,  a greatly  expanded  scheme  of  agricultural  instruction  has 
been  planned  and  entered  upon. 

This  department,  in  common  with  others,  has  for  several  years  shared 
in  the  benefits  of  the  system  of  annual  fellowship  appointments  in  use  in 
this  institution.  The  appointee  in  this  department,  while  taking  post-grad- 
uate study — usually  in  botany — also  serves  as  a laboratory  assistant,  giving 
attention  to  a part  of  the  routine  work  of  securing  plant  material  for  classes 
and  to  the  numberless  other  details  involved  in  laboratory  instruction. 

For  several  years  past,  there  has  been  an  increasing  need  of  assistance 
of  a more  permanent  character  than  these  fellowships  afford.  During  a part 
of  the  year,  it  has  been  necessary  for  the  instructor  to  conduct  two  botanical 
classes  simultaneously.  In  the  fall  and  spring  terms,  both,  it  is  desirable 
to  carry  on  laboratory  courses  also  in  horticulture  at  the  same  hour  that 
large  classes  of  botanical  students  are  in  session.  With  the  increase  in 
the  variety  of  studies  in  agriculture  proper,  inaugurated  with  the  present 
session,  it  is  important,  in  order  to  secure  a v,rell-balanced  agricultural  course, 
to  increase  very  materially  the  laboratory  courses  in  horticulture,  such  as 
systematic  pomology,  market  gardening  and  forcing  house  practice.  To  do 
these  things  requires  the  appointment  of  a regular  instructor  who  could 


STATE  COLLEGE  OF  KENTUCKY. 


191 


give  all  of  hi.?  time  to  the  work,  and  such  an  appointment,  it  is  earnestly 
hoped,  may  be  provided  for  in  the  near  future. 

On  account  of  the  very  limited  appropriations  of  the  past  two  years,  no 
extensive  additions  to  the  equipment  could  be  made,  the  expenditures  being 
mainly  confined  to  the  purchase  of  supplies  and  reagents  for  the  regular 
routine  work  of  the  laboratory. 

The  department  library  has,  however,  been  extended  by  the  purchase  of 
forty-nine  volumes,  and  the  advanced  laboratory  has  been  equipped  with  new 
tables  at  a cost  of  about  ninety  dollars. 

A special  appropriation  of  one  hundred  and  fifty  dollars  was  granted 
to  the  department  in  January,  1905,  for  the  purpose  of  establishing  a course 
in  wood-working,  especially  adapted  to  the  needs  of  the  agricultural  students. 
Temporary  quarters  for  this  work  were  provided  in  the  basement  of  the 
natural  science  building,  and  it  is  planned  to  make  this  work  a distinct 
feature  of  the  Agricultural  Course. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

Clarence  W.  Mathews. 


Lexington,  Ky.,  November  20,  1905. 
President  James  K.  Patterson,  State  College  of  Kentucky,  Lexington,  Ky.: 

My  Dear  Sir:  As  Dean  of  the  School  of  Mechanical  and  Electrical  Engineer- 
ing of  the  State  College  of  Kentucky,  I have  the  honor  to  present  to  you  a re- 
port relative  to  this  department,  to  be  incorporated  in  your  biennial  report  to 
the  General  Assembly.  This  report  covers  the  period  for  the  two  years  begin- 
ning July  1,  1903,  and  ending  July  1,  1905,  together  with  a statement  of  the 
number  of  students  matriculated  in  this  department  at  the  beginning  of  the 
fall  term,  1905. 

MATRICULATES, 

During  the  College  year  1903-4,  the  matriculates  in  the  department  were 
distributed  as  follows:  Seniors,  20;  Juniors,  42;  Sophomores,  49;  Freshmen,  70. 

During  the  College  year  1904-5,  the  matriculates  were  as  follows:  Seniors, 
29;  Juniors,  34;  Sophomores,  38;  Freshmen,  56. 

At  the  beginning  of  the  year  1905-6  the  matriculates  are  as  follows: 
Seniors,  30;  Juniors,  20;  Sophomores,  51;  Freshmen,  46. 

COURSE  OF  STUDY. 

The  curriculum  of  this  department  has  an  individuality  that  stands  out 
prominently  before  the  educational  world.  In  most  of  the  older  courses  of 
study  a hard  and  fast  line  has  been  drawn  between  electrical  and  medhanical 
engineering.  Many  courses  in  electrical  engineering  make  good  electricians, 
but  not  first-class  engineers.  Many  schools  develop  good  stelam  engineers, 
who  are  totally  deficient  in  the  electrical  end  of  engineering. 

It  is  the  purpose  of  this  school  to  give  young  men  a broad  training  in 
dynamic  engineering,  so  that  when  they  leave  this  institution  they  may  take 


192 


STATE  COLLEGE  OF  KENTUCKY. 


up  any  branch  of  engineering  relating  to  the  design,  construction  and  operation 
of  steam,  electric,  gas,  pneumatic,  or  hydraulic  machinery.  They  have  a 
splendid  foundation  for  carrying  on  any  work  in  the  design  of  machine  tools 
and  special  machinery.  All  phases)  of  power  transmission  and  the  application 
of  machines  to  industrial  work  are  so  intimately  associated  that  it  is  very 
necessary  in  the  training  of  a mechanical  engineer  to  give  him  such  a broad 
foundation  upon  which  to  build  his  engineering  structure  that  he  may  be  able 
tc  take  up  any  branch  of  mechanical  engineering  and  build  a successful  en- 
gineering career  upon  the  foundation  that  he  has  received  in  college. 

It  is  a mistake  to  specialize  too'  severely  in  undergraduate  courses  in 
engineering.  No  engineering  school  can  make  an  efficient  engineer  any  more 
than  a law  school  can  graduate  a lawyer  thoroughly  versed  in  all  lines  per- 
taining to  his  profession. 

The  engineering  school  simply  constructs  the  foundation;  the  superstructure 
must  be  erected  by  the  man’s  own  application  and  experience  after  leaving 
college.  Comprehensive  courses  in  analytical  mechanics,  strength  of  materials 
and  mechanical  drawing  have  enabled  graduates  to  take  up  architectural  work. 
It  has  been  the  aim  of  this  school  to  present  such  a course  of  study  that  will 
prove  efficient  as  a basis  for  any  line  of  engineering  work,  and  the  success 
that  has  been  attained  by  graduates  of  Kentucky  State  College  in  the  commer- 
cial engineering  world  is  a tribute  to  the  efficiency  of  the  Kentucky  School/ 
of  Mechanical  and  Electrical  Engineering. 

The  course  of  study  carried  on  in  the  School  of  Mechanical  and  Electrical 
Engineering  has  not  been  modified  for  several  years,  with  the  exception  that 
subjects  have  been  presented  each  year,  as  the  development  in  the  science  of 
mechanical  engineering  has  warranted.  The  course  of  study  in  this  depart- 
ment is  shown  by  the  accompanying  tabulation.  The  character  of  work  of  the 
students  the  last  two  years  has  been  very  superior  to  that  ever  done  before, 
due  to  the  enforcing  of  the  faculty  regulations  pertaining  to  this  department, 
that  no  student  be  allowed  to  enter  the  Senior  year  with  a condition  in  any 
subject,  and  that  no  student  be  allowed  to  enter  the  Junior  year  With  but  one 
condition,  and  that  due  to  a failure;  and  that  no  student  be  allowed  to  enter 
the  Sophomore  year  with  one  condition,  due  to  a failure,  the  standard  of 
work  in  all  classes  has  been  very  much  raised.  This  rule  has  been  the  means 
of  weeding  out  inferior  material,  which  undoubtedly  is  always  an  important 
element  in  determining  the  standard  of  any  class  work.

TRIPS  OF  INSPECTION. 

The  annual  inspection  trips  for  Junior  students  were  made  during  the 
two  years,  under  the  direction  of  Prof.  John  T.  Faig;  the  objective  points 
wrere  Cincinnati,  Hamilton  and  Dayton. 

The  Senior  trips  for  the  two  years  were  under  the  direction  of  the  under- 
signed in  1904,  and  under  the  direction  of  Prof.  A.  M.  Wilson  and  the  under- 
signed in  1905;  the  objective  points  were  Lafayette,  Indiana,  Chicago,  Illinois, 
and  Milwaukee,  Wisconsin.  These  inspection  trips  are  of  inestimable  value 
to  the  Junior  engineering  student  just  before  beginning  his  final  work  in 
machine  design,  which  consists  of  the  complete  development  of  a machine 
tool,  and  the  students  are  privileged  to  visit  some  of  the  largest  machine- 
building  establishments  in  the  country.  The  Seniors,  just  before  taking  up 
the  discussion  of  a comprehensive  thesis  problem  pertaining  to  power  trans- 
mission or  development,  are  given  many  practical  illustrations  of  the  cur- 
rent practice  pertaining  to  the  great  surface  and  elevated  railroads  and 
manufacturing  power  stations,  which  are  characteristic  engineering  fea- 
tures of  a great  city. 

POSITIONS  FOR  SENIORS. 

Never  in  the  history  of  mechanical  and  electrical  engineering  in  this 
institution  has  there  been  such  evidence  of  the  standing  of  the  State  College 
of  Kentucky  in  the  engineering  world  as  has  been  shown  during  the  last  two 
years. 


198 


STATE  COLLEGE  OF  KENTUCKY. 


In  June,  1904,  there  were  forty-two  places  available  for  the  twenty  Seniors 
graduated.  In  June,  1905,  there  were  seventy-two  places  that  could  have 
been  filled  had  there  been  sufficient  number  of  graduates  from  the  depart- 
ment; this  condition,  however,  gave  the  twenty-seven  men  splendid  opportunity 
to  select  just  the  sort  of  work  which  was  congenial  and  for  which  they  were 
best  adapted. 

As  an  illustration  of  the  firms  the  graduates  in  mechanical  and  electrical 
engineering  found  employment  with,  immediately  after  graduation,  the  fol- 
lowing statistics  from  the  class  of  1905  will  prove  of  interest:

EFFICIENCY  OF  INSTRUCTORS. 

It  is  my  pleasure  to  say  that  I believe  there  is  no  engineering  school 
in  this  country  that  has,  at  the  present  time,  a more  efficient  corps  of  in- 
structors. Every  man  is  energetic,  enthusiastic  and  thoroughly  proficient 
in  his  work.  A spirit  of  activity  pervades  the  department  and  a large  per- 
centage of  the  students  put  in  much  more  time  than  is  required  of  them. 
The  students  seem  to  find  their  greatest  pleasure  in  the  work  pertaining  to 
their  college  course.  The  department  hours  are  from  eight  in  the  morning 
until  five  in  the  afternoon;  the  work  of  every  student  is  laid  out  so  that  he 
will  have  no  vacant  hours  during  that  time. 

THE  DEMAND  FOR  ADDITIONAL  BUILDINGS  AND  EQUIPMENT. 

A critical  period  has  been  reached  in  the  development  of  the  School  of 
Mechanical  and  Electrical  Engineering.  It  is  an  undisputed  fact  that  the 
greatest  possible  use  has  been  made  of  the  facilities  that  have  been  provided 
for  training  young  men  in  mechanical  and  electrical  engineering  in  Ken- 
tucky. By  teaching  young  engineers  to  work  faithfully  and  persistently  on 
the  subjects  contained  in  this  college  course,  we  have  been  able  to  graduate 
individuals  who  have  proven  highly  efficient  in  the  engineering  world;  but 
there  are  decided  limitations  in  the  process  of  training  young  engineers  with- 
out adequate  material  facilities.  While  other  prominent  engineering  schools 
throughout  the  country  during  the  last  few  years  have  been  receiving  thou- 
sands of  dollars  for  betterments,  we  have  been  compelled  to  do  with  only 
sufficient  support  for  operating  expenses  of  the  department,  and  for  several 
years  we  have  added  practically  nothing  to  our  equipment.  A nucleus  for 
a great  engineering  school  has  been  formed,  but  it  is  evident  that  unless 
a large  amount  of  money  is  secured  for  putting  our  plant  on  a more  modern 
basis,  we  will  be  seriously  handicapped  in  competing  with  the  work  that  is 
being  done  in  those  schools  where  hundreds  of  thousands  of  dollars  have 
been  spent  on  engineering  buildings  and  equipment. 

RECOMMENDATIONS. 

First:  That  one  hundred  thousand  dollars  be  secured  from  the  State 
Legislature  to  put  up  a modern  building  for  mechanical  and  electrical  engin- 
eering work. 

Second:  That  fifty  thousand  dollars  be  secured  from  the  State  Legis- 
lature for  properly  equipping  the  above  building. 

The  States  of  Iowa,  Illinois,  Indiana,  Tennessee,  Ohio,  West  Virginia 
and  Missouri  have  equipments  for  mechanical  and  electrical  engineering 
work,  ranging  from  one  hundred  thousand  to  four  hundred  thousand  dollars 
in  value.  The  value  of  the  equipment  for  mechanical  and  electrical  in- 
struction at  the  State  College  of  Kentucky  is  less  than  fifty  thousand  dollars. 

Yours  respectfully, 

F.  Paul  Anderson, 

Dean,  School  of  Mechanical  and  Electrical  Engineering.

STATE  COLLEGE  OF  KENTUCKY. 


Lexington,  Ky.,  November  18,  1905. 
President  James  K.  Patterson,  State  College  of  Kentucky : 

Dear  Sir:  In  accordance  with  your  request,  I submit  the  following  biennial 
report  of  the  Department  of  Physics: 

The  Department  of  Physics  occupies  three  rooms  in  the  basement  of  the 
main  College  building.  One  room  was  formerly  used  as  a machine  shop,  an- 
other as  a blacksmith  shop.  They  are  damp,  poorly  lighted  and  ventilated; 
mold  and  rust  attack  the  instruments.  One  of  these  rooms  is  used  as  a store- 
room and  laboratory  for  elementary  work;  it  will  conveniently  accommodate 
at  one  time  about  twenty  students,  but,  in  order  to  meet  present  requirements, 
it  should  accommodate  at  least  fifty  students.  One-half  of  the  second  room 
is  crowded  with  thirty-five  seats;  the  other  half  of  this  room,  furnishing  a 
floor  space  15x24  feet,  is  used  for  storage  and  as  a laboratory  for  the  Junior 
and  Senior  classes  in  Physics.  It  is  furnished  with  two  small  tables  for  ex- 
perimental work  and  can  accommodate,  without  crowding,  less  than  a dozen 
students.  Accommodation  should  be  had  for  about  fifty  students.  Any  one 
can  see  how  seriously  handicapped  this  work  is,  and  how  difficult  it  is  to  secure 
good  work  under  these  conditions.  Some  lines  of  important  work  can  not  be 
even  attempted.  The  facilities  for  instruction  and  class  work  are  relatively 
worse  than  they  were  a few  years  ago,  when  there  were  fewer  students,  and 
will  grow  worse  still  as  the  number  of  students  increases. 

When  the  enrollment  is  complete  the  number  of  students  receiving  instruc- 
tion in  Physics  this  year  will  be  about  two  hundred. 

At  present  the  most  urgent  needs  of  this  department  are: 

First:  A new  building  for  Physics,  or  a portion  of  a new  building.  It 
should  afford  about  three  times  as  much  space  as  this  department  now  has. 
There  should  be  two  lecture-rooms,  two  principal  laboratories,  besides  a num- 
ber of  smaller  rooms  for  apparatus,  storage,  electric  batteries,  dark  rooms, 
etc. 

Second:  Additional  equipment. 

These,  especially  the  first,  are  urgent  needs,  and  not  simply  wants.  This 
fact  can  easily  be  verified  by  investigation. 

The  importance  of  Physics  is  recognized  in  some  measure  by  the  prom- 
inence given  to  it  in  the  courses  of  study  in  this  College  which  le'ad  to  the 
various  bachelor  degrees.  Physics,  chemistry,  physiology,  geology,  zoology 
and  botany  are  the  principal  branches  of  science  taught  in  these  courses. 
Of  these  branches,  the  first  two  only  are  required  of  every  student  for  gradu- 
ation from  this  College,  but,  while  this  is  true,  physics  is  the  only  science 
not  well  provided  for. 

I most  earnestly  and  respectfully  call  attention  to  these  needs  and  hope 
that  the  Legislature  of  Kentucky  will  make  an  appropriation  that  will  en- 
able the  Board  of  Trustees  to  provide  properly  for  this  department  of  study. 

Respectfully, 

M.  L.  Pence, 

Professor  of  Physics.

Lexington,  Ky.,  November  11,  1905. 

Dr.  James  K.  Patterson,  President  State  College  of  Kentucky: 

Dear  Sir:  In  response  to  your  request,  I have  the  honor  to  submit  the 
following  report  concerning  the  Department  (in  effect  School)  of  Mining  En- 
gineering. 


LOCATION. 

I deem  it  well  to  emphasize  the  fact  that  Lexington  is  one  of  the  most 
fortuitously  situated  places  for  the  location  of  a mining  school  to  be  found 
in  this  country.  The  idea  that  such  a school  must  be  immediately  in  a 
mining  region  is  not  at  all  well  founded.  At  best,  schools  so  located  have 
only  one  form  of  mining  at  their  doors — either  iron,  or  copper,  or  coal,  or 
lead,  silver  or  gold,  requiring  excursions,  in  most  instances  long  ones,  for 
the  study  of  other  varieties.  One  of  the  greatest  of  the  mining  schools  of 
the  world  (Columbia)  is  located  in  New  York  City.  Lexington  is  in  close 
touch  with  various  mining  fields;  it  is  within  easy  distances  of  coal,  lead  and 
zinc,  and  iron  mines,  with  their  dressing  and  reduction  plants,  within  the 
State,  and  of  copper  and  gold  mines,  with  their  reduction  plants,  south  of  us. 

COURSE  OF  STUDY. 

The  course  was  established  on  a high  standard,  in  the  belief  that  we 
should  seek  from  the  beginning  to  turn  out  graduates  of  a high  grade, 
rather  than  begin  with  a lower  standard  merely  because  that  might  (as 
experience  has  shown  would  have  been  the  case)  result  in  a larger  number 
of  matriculates.  While  it  must  be  admitted,  as  is  indicated  beyond,  that  in 
one  direction  it  has  not  been  possible  to  meet  the  requirements  of  the 
course  as  fully  as  should  be  done,  still  they  should  be  and  are  retained 
in  the  expectation  that  ultimately  provision  will  be  made  to  cover  all  of  them 
in  a satisfactory  way.  Our  deficiencies  are  in  metallurgy  and  ore  dressing; 
in  all  other  respects,  the  instruction  given  compares  favorably  with  that 
afforded  by  older  and  well  attended  mining  schools,  and  in  some  instances 
is  better  than  may  be  had  at  some  of  them.  Following  is  the  course  of 
study  leading  to  the  degree  of  bachelor  of  mining  engineering: 

Freshman  Year. — English,  Plane  Trigonometry,  Solid  Geometry,  Higher 
Algebra,  Physics,  Free-hand  and  Mechanical  Drawing,  Shopwork  in  Wood. 

Sophomore  Year. — Analytical  Geometry,  Calculus  (begun),  Chemistry, 
Physical  Laboratory,  'Geology  (general), . Metallurgy,  Surveying  and  Map- 
ping, Elementa.ry  Design,  Descriptive  Geometry,  Mechanical  Drawing,  Iron 
and  Steel  Forging. 

Junior  Year. — Calculus  (concluded),  Strength  of  Materials,  Chemistry  of 
Metals,  Metallurgy  and  Assaying,  Electricity  and  Magnetism,  Quantitative 
Analysis,  Surveying  and  Mapping,  Mine  Surveying,  Analytical  Mechanics, 
Mineralogy  and  Blowpiping,  Dynamo-Electric  Machinery,  Electrical  Appli- 
ances, and  Mining  (including  Excavating,  Quarrying,  Boring,  Shaft  Sinking, 
Prospecting,  Exploration,  Methods  of  Working  and  Timbering  Mines,  etc.). 


202 


STATE  COLLEGE  OF  KENTUCKY. 


Senior  Year — History  and  Political  Economy,  Hydraulics,  Steam  Engine 
and  Boilers,  Alternating  Currents  and  Power  Plants,  Economic  Geology, 
Mining  (including  Extraction  of  Minerals,  haulage,  hoisting,  draining,  ven- 
tilating, etc.;  Machines  and  Appliances  for  Mining,  hoisting,  draining,  ven- 
tilating, screening,  etc.;  Examination  and  Valuation  of  Mines),  Ore  Dress- 
ing, Gold  and  Silver  Milling,  Coal  Washing,  Mine  Plant  Design,  and  Thesis 
■work.  Opportunity  for  visiting  mines,  under  guidance  of  the  Dean  or  other 
qualified  person,  is  given  during  the  holidays  and  at  the  close  of  the  term. 

EQUIPMENT. 

The  school  is  provided  with  an  electric  light  stereopticon,  and  a reflecto- 
scope,  with  a large  number  of  lantern  slides  for  illustrating  lectures;  numer- 
ous charts,  blue-prints  and  photographs  illustrating  mining  methods  and 
machinery;  a working  model  of  a mine  hoist,  with  safety  catch  for  cages; 
a “German  dial”  (or  hanging  compass)  and  accessories,  and  plummet  lamps 
for  mine  survey;  a Vajen-Bader  “head  protector,”  an  apparatus  for  use  in 
exploring  mines  filled  with  deadly  gases  after  explosions  or  during  fires 
(loaned  by  the  Vajen-Bader  Company),  some  safety  lamps,  and  apparatus 
for  measuring  ventilation.  For  work  in  the  laboratory,  the  equipment  con- 
sists of  a standard  Wilfley  concentrating  table,  a Hallett  hand  jig,  a Campbell 
coal-washer,  a model  of  a complete  coal-washing  plant,  a mine  ventilating 
fan  (all  three  presented  by  Mr.  J.  B.  Atkinson,  of  Earlington,  Ky.),  and 
an  assaying  outfit.  The  machines  are  operated  by  a three  horse  power 
electric  motor. 

MATRICULATES. 

The  school  has  entered  upon  its  fourth  year.  Unfortunately,  when  estab- 
lishing the  department,  no  provision  was  made  by  the  Legislature  either 
for  a building  or  for  equipment,  and  the  financial  resources  of  the  College 
have  not  been  sufficient  to  supply  the  needs  in  that  direction.  The  school, 
therefore,  is  being  developed  under  serious  limitations,  due  not  only  to  the 
•wants  indicated,  but  to  circumstances  which  they  render  possible,  and  the 
number  of  students  enrolled  has  not  equaled  what  may  confidently  be  expect- 
ed whenever  the  school  shall  be  placed  in  a more  favorable  position,  and  be 
enabled,  also,  to  meet  competition  within  the  State  coming  from  schools 
of  other  States.  The  opening  of  the  present  session,  however,  bears  wit- 
ness to  hopeful  progress,  notwithstanding  our  embarrassments.  The  school 
opened  its  first  session  with  five  matriculates;  the  present  session  opened 
with  ten,  including  seven  new  men.  A number  of  applicants  have  failed  to 
enter  either  because  of  insufficient  preparation,  or  on  account  of  the  length 
of  the  course  (four  years).  We  have  sent  out  three  graduates.  One  of 
them,  after  taking  post-graduate  work  here,  is  now  employed  at  a copper 
mine;  another,  until  recently  employed  on  the  State  Geological  Survey,  will 
now  enter  the  service  of  a Kentucky  coal  mining  company;  and  the  third 
is  taking  post-graduate  work.

SHORT  COURSE  IN  MINING. 

% 

In  the  foregoing  paragraph,  mention  was  made  of  the  failure  of  persons 
to  enter  the  course  because  of  its  length,  etc.  Reference  was  especially  to 
young  men  working  in  our  coal  mines  (“practical  miners”)  and  to  mine 
foremen.  A short  course  in  mining  for  such  men  is  very  desirable,  and  many 
expressions  favoring  it  have  been  received  from  the  mines.  It  would  prove 
of  great  value  to  the  mining  interests  of  the  State,  since  first-grade  foremen 
are,  unfortunately,  scarce  in  Kentucky.  Were  there  such  a course  in  the 
school,  I have  reason  to  know  that  there  would  be  a considerable  attendance 
upon  it;  and  since  it  is  probable  that  legislation  prohibiting  the  employment 
of  any  but  “certificated”  foremen  at  our  mines  (as  in  other  States)  will  be 
enacted  at  an  early  day,  it  seems  our  duty  to  provide  such  a course.  But 
as  matters  stand  it  is  not  practicable  to  do  so. 

PROGRESS  IN  INSTRUCTION  GIVEN. 

For  the  first  time  since  the  department  was  organized,  laboratory  instruc- 
tion in  some  of  the  phases  of  ore  dressing  and  in  mine  ventilation  was 
given  during  the  session  of  1904-5.  This  was  rendered  possible  by  the  erec- 
tion of  a small  frame  building  at  a cost  of  $200.  Less  could  be  accom- 
plished than  was  hoped  for,  however,  not  only  because  of  lack  of  certain 
machines,  but  because  the  building  was  too  small  even  for  what  we  had. 
To  obviate  the  latter  difficulty,  the  building  has  been  enlarged,  but  it  is  still 
no  more  than  a make-shift,  simply  large  enough  to  afford  space  for  the 
present  appliances,  few  as  they  are.  As  a “mining  laboratory,”  it  is  quite 
inadequate. 

IMPORTANCE  OF  INSTRUCTION  IN  ORE  DRESSING. 

The  importance  of  affording  adequate  instruction  in  ore  dressing  will  be 
recognized  when  it  is  known  that  a recent  list  obtained  by  the  State  Geolog- 
ical Survey  (published  in  the  report  of  the  Inspector  of  Mines  for  1904) 
shows  more  than  eighty  operators  in  our  western  lead,  zinc  and  spar  dis- 
trict, and  that  several  operations  have  been  established  in  the  Central  Ken- 
tucky district.  The  Missouri  School  of  Mines  is  now  attracting  young  men 
from  Kentucky,  because  of  facilities  it  offers  for  the  study  of  ore  dressing. 
Such  young  men  could  more  readily  be  brought  to  this  school,  were  we 
prepared  to  properly  meet  their  wants,  since  in  several  respects  this  school 
has  advantages  over  that  at  Rolla.  The  desirability  that  we  shall  be  pre- 
pared to  give  satisfactory  instruction  in  coal  washing  and  coking  seems 
obvious.  Moreover,  with  a properly  equipped  ore  dressing  and  metallurgical 
laboratory,  the  school  could  render  valuable  service  in  forwarding  the 
development  of  our  mineral  districts,  especially  with  regard  to  the  con- 
centration of  our  zinc  ores— a problem  upon  the  solution  of  which  depends 
the  commercial  value  of  a large  proportion  of  such  ores  as  found  in  this  State. 
The  laboratory  could,  undoubtedly,  prove  of  great  service  as  a testing  plant 
lor  ores  and  coals  of  the  State.

STATE  COLLEGE  OP  KENTUCKY. 


URGENT  NEEDS. 

At  this  time  the  department  is  without  a habitation  of  its  own — without 
even  a class-room  of  its  own,  the  one  used  by  the  professor  of  mining  as  a 
lecture-room  being  one  which,  forming  part  of  the  suite  belonging  to  the 
Department  of  Zoology,  was  placed  temporarily  at  his  command  by  the 
professor  of  geology  and  zoology.  The  small  frame  building  that  has  been 
erected  to  serve  temporarily  for  such  instruction  as  can  now  be  given  in 
ore  dressing,  etc.,  is  utterly  too  small  in  every  way,  and  our  poverty  in 
apparatus  and  machinery  is  woeful. 

We  need  a building  in  which  there  shall  be  space  for  one  or  two  class 
rooms;  a mining  museum,  for  models,  tools,  machines,  apparatus,  etc.;  a 
mining  laboratory,  for  ore  dressing,  concentration,  coal  washing,  etc.;  a 
metallurgical  reduction  laboratory,  for  furnaces,  chlorination,  cyaniding,  $ts* 
saying,  etc.;  a library  and  draughting  room;  a small  office  for  the  dean 
of  the  department,  and  the  offices  of  the  Inspector  of  Mines  and  assistants, 
including  a room  for  their  maps  and  records,  should  be  in  the  same  building. 

We  need  crushers  and  rolls,  special  lecture-room  apparatus  for  illustrating 
the  laws  of  ore  concentration,  models  of  various  sorts  of  mine  machinery, 
a small  stamp  battery,  sizing  machines,  magnetic  concentrators,  sets  of  min- 
ing and  blasting  tools,  small  chlorinating  and  cyaniding  plants,  sets  of  safety 
lamps,  models  illustrating  various  sorts  of  smelting  furnaces,  etc.,  etc. 

FINALE. 

I venture  to  believe  that,  though  the  youngest  and  most  meagerly 
equipped,  this  department  is  not  the  least  important  one  in  the  College.  Its 
graduates  will  be  directly  associated  with  the  development  of  the  mineral 
resources  of  the  State,  and  upon  the  latter  depends  the  establishment  of 
various  industries  that  will  call  for  the  employment  of  graduates  of  other 
departments.  In  effect,  repeating  what  I have  said  in  a former  report,  I 
regret  having  to  emphasize  our  deficiencies,  but,  nevertheless,  deem  it 
proper  to  lay  them  plainly  before  you  that  they  may  be  considered  along 
with  the  many  extraordinary  advantages  afforded  the  mining  student  at 
State  College.  It  is  to  be  hoped  that  the  necessary  legislation  to  place  the 
department  on  an  even  footing  with  other  engineering  departments  of  the 
College  may  be  obtained  at  an  early  day;  should  this  be  accomplished,  it 
is  confidently  believed  that  this  school  may  be  rapidly  brought  to  a position 
that  will  enable  it  to  cope  with  the  mining  schools  of  other  States,  and 
that  the  attendance  not  only  from  Kentucky  but  from  States  to  the  south  of 
us  will  be  all  that  can  well  be  desired.  Happily,  provisions  for  thorough 
instruction  in  all  the  auxiliary  branches  of  study  that  go  with  mining  and 
metallurgy  (including  applied  mechanics,  applied  electricity,  chemistry,  geol- 
ogy, etc.)  are  ample  and  complete. 

Very  respectfully, 

C.  J.  Norwood,  Dean.

Lexington,  Ky.,  November  1,  1905. 
President  James  K.  Patterson,  State  College  of  Kentucky: 

Dear  Sir:  Since  the  direction  of  the  Chemical  Department  was  com- 
mitted to  me  only  at  the  beginning  of  the  present  academic  year,  I do  not 
feel  myself  to  be  in  a position  to  review  the  work  of  the  department  during 
the  last  two  years,  when  it  was  under  the  direction  of  my  distinguished  prede- 
cessor. 

It  gives  me  pleasure,  however,  to  report  that  the  laboratory,  with  its 
equipment,  was  received  in  excellent  condition,  and  the  advanced  students  in 
chemistry  give  evidence  of  having  received  careful  training. 

Under  the  present  arrangement  of  courses  in  the  College,  chemistry  is 
merely  one  of  several  subjects  included  in  the  scientific  curriculum.  No  pro- 
vision is  made  for  the  study  of  chemistry  with  reference  to  the  applications 
of  the  principles  of  this,  the  most  useful  of  all  the  sciences  in  the  industrial 
arts. 

The  conditions  in  the  College  are  favorable  and  the  time  is  ripe  for  ex- 
tending the  usefulness  of  the  chemical  department  by  establishing  in  it 
two  professional  schools,  namely,  a school  of  chemical  engineering  and  a 
school  of  pharmacy. 

It  is  generally  conceded  that  State  colleges  and  State  universities  should 
prepare  men  for  specified  callings;  that  these  State  institutions  should  traifi 
for  vocation  as  well  as  for  culture,  and  the  public  is  now  deprived  of  tha 
most  valuable  service  which  the  Department  of  Chemistry  in  our  own  College 
should  render  to  the  State. 

Many  industrial  establishments,  such  as  soap  works,  gas  works,  fertilizer 
works,  soda  works,  superphosphate  works,  oil  refineries,  tobacco  extract 
works,  sugar  refineries,  and  bleacheries  are  based  upon  the  application  of 
chemical  principles,  and  these  industries  can  be  conducted  most  profitably 
by  chemists  who  are  likewise  familiar  with  mechanical  subjects. 

As  manufacturers  are  turning  their  attention  more  and  more  to  the  recov- 
ery of  by-products,  which  formerly  were  thrown  away,  so  there  is  an  in- 
creasing demand  for  technical  chemists  to  devise  processes  whereby  ma- 
terials hitherto  considered  worthless  may  be  utilized  and  placed  to  profit- 
able account. 

The  managers  of  all  such  establishments  are  constantly  applying  for 
chemical  engineers  having  a thorough  knowledge  of  the  science  of  chem- 
istry and  capable,  of  constructing  and  improving  the  methods  and  appli- 
ances used  in  the  manufacture  and  recovery  of  chemical  products. 

The  establishment  of  a School  of  Chemical  Engineering  under  the  lead- 
ership of  the  Department  of  Chemistry  would  add  greatly  to  the  efficiency 
of  the  department.  Such  a school  would  serve,  moreover,  to  attract  to  the 
State  College  many  young  men  who  would  otherwise  be  compelled  to  secure 
this  training  in  other  States  where  schools  of  Chemical  Engineering  exist. 

No  serious  additional  cost  would  be  incurred  by  instituting  a School  of 
Chemical  Engineering  in  the  College.  The  new  course  would  involve  mainly 
such  an  arrangement  of  the  work  of  the  Chemical  students  as  to  allow  them 
to  take  advantage  of  the  superior  instruction  and  practice  afforded  by  the 
Mechanical  Engineering  Department,  already  established  in  the  College. 


206 


STATE  COLLEGE  OF  KENTUCKY. 


There  is  also  great  need  in  Kentucky  of  a combined  collegiate  and  pro- 
fessional ^School  of  Pharmacy.  Many  young  men  have  already  applied  to 
me  for  instruction  in  Chemistry  that  they  might  qualify  themselves  as 
practicing  pharmacists  in  this  State;  but,  as  no  provision  has  ever  been 
made  for  work  of  this  kind,  all  such  applicants  have  been  reluctantly  dis- 
missed. 

The  College  is  fortunate  in  having  already  excellent  courses  in  Anatomy, 
Physiology,  Botany,  and  Physics.  With  the  cooperation  of  these  depart- 
ments, together  with  a special  course  in  pharmaceutical  practice,  the  Chemical 
Department  of  the  State  College  could  maintain  a course  in  Pharmacy  of 
superior  grade. 

Such  a school,  offering  technical  training  in  pharmaceutical  practice, 
would  be  attractive  to  young  women  as  well  as  to  young  men.  A new  field 
of  usefulness  is  thus  opened  to  those  women  who  qualify  themselves  for 
the  reputable  and  lucrative  practice  of  Pharmacy,  the  sister  of  Medicine. 

No  other  professional  department  of  the  College  would  be  more  likely 
to  have  its  graduates  permanently  settled  within  the  State,  and  in  future 
years  a large  constituency  of  well-educated,  well-trained  druggists  and  phar- 
maceutical chemists,  holding  the  diploma  of  the  State  College  of  Kentucky, 
would  reflect  credit  upon  the  institution  which  prepared  them  for  the  duties 
and  responsibilities  of  life. 

The  number  of  students  receiving  instruction  in  Chemistry  is  the  largest 
in  the  history  of  the  Department.  All  the  available  desks  in  the  Chemical 
building  on  two  floors  are  already  occupied,  and  thirty  students  are  now 
waiting  for  places  where  they  may  do  the  experimental  work  required. 

The  timely  withdrawal  of  the  Agricultural  Experiment  Station  has  tem- 
porarily relieved  the  fearful  congestion  of  last  year,  and  yet  the  building 
is  none  too  large  to  accommodate  the  students  in  the  Chemical  Department. 
Working  desks  and  other  furnishings  are  sorely  needed  to  meet  the  demands 
now  pressing  for  places  in  the  laboratory. 

Two  regularly  qualified  assistants  must  be  added  to  the  teaching  force 
of  the  Department  in  order  that  the  students  may  receive  proper  attention 
and  the  instruction  which  they  need. 

Very  respectfully, 

Chase  Palmer, 

Professor  of  Chemistry.

Last  year  this  department  was  the  only  one  that  showed  an  increase  in 
the  number  of  under  graduates.  In  the  current  year  there  is  now  an 
increase  of  15  per  cent,  over  last  year.  For  the  years  named  above,  the 
increase  in  civil  engineering  has  been  two  and  one-half  times  as  fast  as  for 
the  College  as  a whole. 

Not  a single  one  of  our  graduates  has  failed  to  find  employment  directly 
after  leaving  college,  and  they  have,  in  their  work,  proved  themselves  as  effic- 
ient as  the  graduates  of  other  institutions  with  whom  they  are  in  compe- 
tition. They  are  at  work  on  railroads,  bridge  designs,  sanitary  engineering, 
waterworks  and  in  mining. 

All  these  industries  are  needed  at  home,  in  Kentucky,  and  as  the  State 
is  developed,  there  will  be  more  work  for  young  civil  engineers  here. 
Every  young  man  who  must  leave  the  State  to  practice  his  profession  is  a 
loss  to  the  Commonwealth.  This  is  true  not  only  as  regards  the  expense 
of  his  education,  but  his  life’s  w'ork  is  all  given  to  some  other  locality.  The 
needs  of  this  State  are  such  that  a smaller  proportion  of  the  graduates  in 
civil  engineering  will  henceforth  have  to  leave  the  State  than  of  any  othet 
department  of  the  State  College. 

The  work  of  instruction  is  greatly  hampered  by  the  lack  of  room  and 
instructors.  There  is  but  one  small  room  for  the  exclusive  use  of  this  de- 
partment. This  room  has  to  be  used  both  as  a recitation  room  and  as  a 
draughting  room  and  will  accommodate  much  less  than  one-fourth  of  our 
students,  the  remainder  are  in  other  quarters  by  sufferance  only. 

We  have  but  one  regularly  employed  instructor  in  the  department  where 
at  least  three  men  of  mature  experience  are  needed  to  put  this  course  on  a par 
with  others  in  the  institution.  We  are  doing  the  very  best  we  can  under 
most  discouraging  circumstances  and  I believe  the  department  of  civil  en- 
gineering has  given  the  State  better  returns  for  the  money  expended  upon  it 
than  any  in  the  College.

I trust  that  steps  may  be  taken  immediately  to  provide  students  in  civil 
engineering  with  suitable  quarters  and  at  least  two  more  instructors.

ENGLISH  DEPARTMENT. 

Lexington,  Ky.,  November  14,  1905. 

President  James  K.  Patterson: 

Dear  Sir:  A student  who  graduates  at  the  State  College  with  English  as 
his  major  study  may  fairly  claim  to  have  a more  thorough  training  than  he 
could  obtain  elsewhere  in  the  State.  Our  excellent  system  of  accredited 
schools  has  enabled  us  to  raise  the  entrance  requirements  year  by  year,  until 
now  our  standard  of  admission  to  the  Freshman  English  class  is  as  high  as 
that  of  most  of  the  Eastern  colleges.  Kentucky  may  at  last  point  with  rea- 
sonable pride  to  the  fact  that  the  entrance  requirements  in  English  are 
precisely  the  same  at  Harvard,  Yale  and  the  State  College  of  Kentucky. 
After  six  years’  earnest  endeavor,  it  is  gratifying  to  be  able  to  affirm  with- 
out hesitation  that  the  young  men  and  women  who  desire  to  master  the 
essential  principles  of  the  English  language  and  literature  need  no  longer 
visit  the  older  and  wealthier  colleges  of  the  United  States.  Six  or  seven 
normal  schools,  at  least  a dozen  private  schools,  and  a considerable  num- 
ber of  academies  and  high  schools  assist  in  preparing  the  youth  of  Kentucky 
for  collegiate  work  at  the  State  institution.  So  far  as  English  is  concerned, 
our  own  academy  is  unsurpassed  as  a preparatory  school,  the  work  being 
thorough  and  efficient. 

Experience  has  shown  the  wisdom  of  making  the  Freshman  work  in 
English  mainly  utilitarian.  No  student  can  be  promoted  to  the  Sophomore 
class  until  he  has  mastered  the  technicalities  of  English  composition,  par- 
ticularly spelling,  punctuation  and  paragraphing.  In  addition,  he  must  be 
fairly  well  acquainted  with  the  leading  writers  of  the  nineteenth  century. 
In  literature,  aesthetics  and  philology,  the  Sophomores  and  Juniors  receive 
a training  that  is  adapted  to  the  average  capacity  of  each  class,  while  the 
Seniors  study  the  fundamental  principles  of  mental  and  moral  philosophy. 
In  at  least  two  respects  this  department  is  duplicated  nowhere  in  the 
South: 

1.  It  offers  a two  years’  Anglo-Saxon  course,  followed  by  a year  in  Gothic. 

2.  It  offers  a course  of  forty  lectures  on  comparative  literature — the  only 
scientific  study  of  literary  art,  its  genesis  and  genius.

The  honorable  members  of  the  Legislature  might  possibly  consider  three 
suggestions  that  seem  to  me  eminently  reasonable: 

1.  A grant  of  $800.00  per  annum  would  provide  a permanent  assistant 
in  English,  and  the  work  would  be  done  better  by  a man  of  experience  than 
by  a fellow  whose  appointment  is  for  only  one  year. 

2.  An  appropriation  of  $600.00  would  provide  the  class-room  with  desks, 
and  other  necessary  appliances.  The  writing  that  is  done  without  the  aid 
or  support  of  a desk  is  bound  to  be  imperfect. 

3.  An  appropriation  of  $5,000  would  give  the  students  library  facilities 
such  as  they  do  not  at  present  enjoy.  The  public  library  of  Lexington  is 
conducted  mainly  in  the  interest  of  the  general  public  and  not  with  a view  to 
assist  college  students. 

Believe  me  respectfully  and  faithfully, 

A.  S.  Mackenzie. 


Lexington,  Ky.,  November  20,  1905. 

James  K.  Patterson,  President : 

Dear  Sir:  As  this  biennial  report  concerning  your  Department  of  Modern 
Languages  comes  due,  little  change  has  to  be  mentioned  as  to  the  character 
of  the  classes  and  their  enrollment.  This  is  a list  of  the  studies  offered: 

Enrollment,  1905. 


First  year  of  German  (taught  in  two  sections) 61 

Second  year  of  German 43 

First  year  of  French 25 

Second  year  of  French 11 

Spanish 26 

Advanced  work  in  German  and  French 7 


Italian,  which  our  catalogue  offers  as  a substitute  for  Spanish,  was  not 
taught,  because  the  overwhelming  majority  of  the  students  interested  pre- 
ferred the  latter  of  these  languages. 

The  preparation  of  the  students  entering  our  Freshman  class  (first  year 


STATE  COLLEGE  OF  KENTUCKY. 


211 


of  German) — and  hence  also  the  proficiency  attained  during  collegiate  in- 
struction— again  shows  a slight,  though  perceptible,  advance  over  former 
years.  In  fact,  a number  of  new  matriculates  now  come  to  us  with  a knowl- 
edge of  the  elements  of  German  (rarely  of  French)  obtained  in  preparatory 
institutions.  While  this  is  gratifying,  it  shows,  together  with  the  increased 
valuation  of  a knowledge  of  modern  languages  throughout  the  country,  that 
it  is  high  time  for  us  to  advance  the  standard  of  the  work  required  in  our 
courses.  The  first  step  in  this  direction — one  already  urged  in  my  last 
report — naturally  would  be,  that  we  require  a fair  reading  knowledge  in 
German  (attainable,  at  that  age,  in  a two-years’  course)  as  an  entrance 
condition  to  our  College.  One  assistant,  exclusively  appointed  to  teach 
modern  languages,  might  give  the  necessary  instruction  (two  hours  a day) 
in  our  Academy,  and  still  lend  sufficient  aid  in  the  College.  I am  much 
pleased  to  learn  that  the  appointment  of  such  an  assistant  has  been  taken 
under  aHvisement. 

The  sum  appropriated  by  the  Board  of  Trustees  for  this  department 
($100)  was  spent,  this  year,  for  a proper  equipment  of  the  class-room.  It 
will  be  ample,  in  the  near  future,  to  provide  for  the  necessary  additions 
to  the  department  library,  mainly  to  be  used  in  advanced  work. 

As  yet  our  engineering  students  receive  no  training  in  modern  languages. 
The  amount  of  practical  work  compressed  into  the  short  space  of  their 
four-years’  course  makes  such  demands  upon  their  time  as  to  crowd  out 
this  branch  of  education,  which  would  prove  very  useful  to  them.  This 
serious  deficiency  will  demand  correction  at  an  early  opportunity. 

Nevertheless,  the  above  numbers  show  that  140  students  receive  instruc- 
tion in  the  required  branches  of  our  department  (first  and  second  years  of 
German  and  French),  while  thirty-three  more  have  registered  for  a language 
as  an  elective  study  (Spanish,  advanced  German  or  French). 

These  numbers  would  almost  warrant  the  appointment  of  a second  in- 
structor, even  if  the  additional  instruction  in  the  Academy  (mentioned 
above)  had  not  to  be  provided  for. 

Very  respectfully  submitted  by 

P.  Wernicke, 

Professor  of  German  and  French. 


Lexington,  Ky.,  November  1,  1905. 

President  James  K.  Patterson: 

Dear  Sir:  I herewith  transmit,  at  your  request,  report  of  the  Department 
of  Geology  and  Zoology  for  collegiate  year  1904-5  and  fall  of  1905. 

Instruction  has  been  given  to  students  in  classes  as  follows: 


212 


STATE  COLLEGE  OF  KENTUCKY. 


Year  1904-5  Fall  of  1905 


Zoology,  First  Term 16  10 

Osteology,  First  Term 3 Jo 

Geology  for  Classicals 12  17 

Geology  for  Scientifics 6 

Palaeontology,  Second  Term 6 

Geology  (Economic),  Second  Term 23 

Zoology  (Laboratory),  Second  Term 23 

Zoology  (Thesis),  Third  Term 8 

Mineralogy,  Third  Term 12 


The  Department  of  Entomology,  formerly  in  charge  of  Prof.  Garman  of 
the  Experiment  Station,  voluntarily  given  up  by  him,  has  been  attached  to 
tjie  Department  of  Zoology  and  put  in  charge  of  Miss  McCann,  Assistant 
in  that  Department.  Most  of  the  entomological  work  comes  in  the  second 
and  third  terms,  and  preparation  is  being  made  to  handle  the  increased 
number  of  students  in  the  economic  phases  of  this  subject  which  the  largely 
increased  matriculation  in  Agriculture  lead  us  to  anticipate.  The  adding  of 
this  department  to  that  of  Zoology  makes  it  imperative  that  at  no  very 
distant  date  an  additional  room  be  assigned  to  Entomology  exclusively.  A 
separate  building  for  Mining  Engineering,  by  setting  free  the  lecture-room 
formerly  allotted  to  the  Department  of  Zoology,  would  provide  this  additional 
space.  Also,  anything  that  develops  the  course  in  Mining  Engineering 
strengthens  the  geological  side  of  my  work. 

Respectfully, 

Arthur  M.  Miller. 


Lexington,  Ky.,  November  14,  1905. 

President  James  K.  Patterson: 

Dear  Sir:  Complying  with  your  request  for  a report  of  the  w^ork  done  in 
this  College  in  the  Department  of  Mathematics  during  the  last  two  years, 
I respectfully  submit  the  following: 

The  requirements  for  admission  to  Freshman  class  are  a thorough  knowl- 
edge of  arithmetic,  of  algebra  through  quadratic  equations  as  presented  in 
Fisher  and  Schwatt’s  Higher  Algebra,  and  of  plane  geometry  as  presented  in 
Book  I.  to  V.  in  Beman  and  Smith’s  Geometry. 

Students  entering  my  class  from  our  Academy  and  from  the  best  high 
schools  and  from  some  private  schools  are  well  prepared  for  College  work, 
but  the  deficiencies  of  others  are  quite  marked.  The  number  of  well  pre- 
pared students  entering  my  classes  is,  I am  glad  to  say,  gradually  increasing. 

The  enrollment  by  classes  for  the  past  two  years  was  as  follows: 


STATE  COLLEGE  OP  KENTUCKY. 


213 


Freshman.  1903-4.  1904-5. 

Plane  Trigonometry 121  145 

Solid  Geometry 112  123 

Higher  Algebra 97  127 

Sophomore.  1903-4.  1904-5. 

Analytics  83  86 

Descriptive  Geometry 57  63 

Calculus  64  57 

Junior.  1903-4.  1904-5. 

Calculus  54  52 

Senior.  1903-4.  1904-5. 

Sph.  Trigonometry  and  Astronomy 36  18 


The  number  of  students  reciting  in  a section  is  generally  between  twenty- 
five  and  thirty.  Much  better  results  could  be  obtained  if  we  had  the  rooms 
and  instructors  to  enable  me  to  limit  the  number  of  students  to  fifteen  per 
section. 

By  using  appropriations  for  my  department  during  the  past  three  years, 
I have  purchased  a new  8-inch  refracting  telescope  for  this  institution.  It 
is,  I believe,  the  largest  instrument  of  its  kind  in  our  State  and  it  should 
be  housed  in  a suitable  observatory.  When  mounted,  it  will,  I believe,  prove 
of  great  service  to  our  students  as  well  as  of  interest  to  our  friends  visiting 
the  College.  A small  but  good  observatory  will  cost  from  $1,500  to  $2,000. 
I hope  our  trustees  will  include  this  amount  in  their  appeal  to  our  Legislature 
for  money. 

Respectfully  yours, 

Jas.  G.  White, 

Prof,  of  Mathematics  and  Astronomy. 


Lexington,  Ky.,  November  15,  1905. 

President  James  K.  Patterson: 

Dear  P */:  The  enrollment  of  students  in  scientific  work  during  the  past 
two  years  is  about  the  same  as  reported  two  years  ago.  As  the  several 
professors  engaged  in  scientific  work  will  present  in  their  reports  the  work 
done  by  them  and  the  needs  of  their  respective  departments,  it  is  unneces- 
sary for  me  to  do  more  than  to  refer  you  to  their  reports.  From  these 
you  will  see  that  most  of  our  students  are  doing  good  work. 

The  excellent  positions  secured  by  our  graduates  is  an  evidence  that 
they  have  received  careful  training  in  chemistry  and  in  other  branches  of 
Science. 


214 


STATE  COLLEGE  OP  KENTUCKY. 


A short  time  after  the  close  of  our  last’  session,  Professor  Joseph  H. 
Kastle  resigned  his  position  as  Professor  of  Chemistry  to  accept  the  position 
of  Director  of  Chemical  Division  of  Hygienic  Laboratory,  Washington,  D.  C. 
Professor  Kastle  graduated  from  this  College  in  1884  and  received  his  M.  S. 
degree  in  June,  1886.  Two  years  later  he  graduated  from  Johns  Hopkins 
University  as  Doctor  of  Philosophy.  By  his  research  work  in  our  Chemical 
Laboratory  he  soon  became  one  of  the  leading  chemists  of  our  country. 
His  call  to  such  a position  in  Washington  is  a just  tribute  to  his  worth  as 
a man  and  as  a chemist.  During  his  years  of  service  in  this  College  he 
was  an  important  factor  in  its  growth.  He  not  only  endeared  himself  in 
many  ways  to  his  fellow  professors,  but  I may  safely  say  that  he  has  the 
love  and  admiration  of  every  student  who  recited  to  him. 

Dr.  Chase  Palmer,  also  a Ph.  D.  of  Johns  Hopkins  University,  a chemist 
of  experience  and  ability,  as  shown  by  his  chemical  work  in  Louisville  and 
afterward  in  Central  University  at  Danville,  Ky.,  takes  Dr.  Kastle’s  place 
with  us,  and  he  is  rapidly  giving  promise  of  being  a worthy  successor  to 
Dr.  Kastle. 

Within  the  past  two  years  the  Experiment  Station  has  been  moved  to 
its  elegant  new  building  near  the  College  campus.  This  has  relieved  the 
crowded  condition  of  our  Chemical  Department.  The  other  departments  of 
scientific  work  have  suitable  rooms  and  well-equipped  laboratories,  except 
the  Department  of  Physics.  Some  of  the  classes  in  this  department  are 
large,  and  Professor  Pence  finds  it  impossible  to  give  such  instruction  as 
he  desires.  Hoping  that  our  Legislature  will  give  us  the  means  to  provide 
ample  instruction  in  this  important  branch  cf  science,  I am 

Yours  truly, 

James  G.  White,  Dean.

NEEDS. 

A New  Building. — This  department  is  at  present  quartered  in  two  rooms 
in  the  Main  Building  of  the  College.  These  quarters  are  wholly  inadequate 
to  the  needs  of  the  department. 

Our  Honorable  Superintendent  of  Public  Instruction  informed  me  re- 
cently that  last  year  about  one  thousand  public  schools  in  Kentucky  were 
unable  to  secure  teachers  qualified  to  pass  the  required  examinations  for 
certificate.  He  estimates  from  reports  already  received  that  probably  six 
hundred  schools  in  the  State  are  going  untaught  this  year  for  lack  of  com- 
petent teachers.  Estimating  forty  pupils  to  each  of  these  districts  (cer- 
tainly a low  estimate),  we  find  ourselves  confronted  by  the  appalling  fact 
that  to-day  24,000  children  in  Kentucky  are  deprived  of  the  privilege  of 
attending  school,  for  the  simple  reason  that  competent  teachers  could  not 
be  secured.  The  citizens  of  Kentucky  are  looking  to  the  State  College  to 
supply  this  most  urgent  need.  It  can  not  be  done  in  two  or  three  small 
rooms.  Therefore,  the  most  urgent  need  of  the  department  is  a new  build- 
ing with  capacity  to  meet  the  demands  of  the  situation.  To  erect  such  a 
building  would  cost  about  $40,000,  and  to  equip  it  properly  would  cost  about 
$10,000  more. 

Facilities  for  Professional  Training. — A large  majority  of  the  students  who 


216 


STATE  COLLEGE  OF  KENTUCKY. 


enter  this  department  have,  before  coming  here,  been  taught  only  in  the 
district  schools  of  the  State.  In  many  instances  the  only  schools  they  have 
ever  seen  were  poorly  organized  and  poorly  conducted.'  On  coming  here 
they  enter  a department  of  the  College.  Consequently  they  have  no  oppor- 
tunity to  observe  the  methods  of  .conducting  the  schools  which  fill  the  great 
gap  between  the  rural  school  and  the  college,  and  yet  these  are  the  schools 
in  which  they  are  most  likely  to  be  engaged  to  teach  when  they  leave  col- 
lege. To  correct  this  defect  there  should  be  established  in  connection  with 
this  department  model  schools,  in  which  our  students  may,  by  observation 
and  practice,  become  acquainted  with  the  best  methods  of  conducting 
schools  of  every  kind  and  grade.  It  is  impossible  to  organize  a successful 
model  school  in  our  present  quarters.  Hence,  the  importance  of  meeting 
the  first  need  by  the  erection  of  a new  building  so  this  one  may  also  be 
satisfactorily  met. 

A Bureau  of  Appointments. — It  is  believed  that  the  interests  of  public 
education  in  Kentucky  can  be  greatly  promoted  by  the  establishment  of  a 
reliable  teachers’  bureau  in  connection  witn  this  department.  We  are  glad 
to  report  that  arrangements  are  being  made  to  open  such  a bureau  the 
first  of  January,  1906.  We  expect  this  bureau  to  serve  as  a medium  of 
communication  between  teachers  and  school  officers  and  thereby  assist  in 
placing  our  best  teachers  in' the  most  responsible  positions. 

Very  respectfully, 

Milford  White, 

Dean  of  the  Normal  Department,  State  College  of  Kentucky. 


Lexington,  Ky.,  November  16,  1905. 

President  James  K.  Patterson: 

Dear  Sir:  As  Dean  of  the  Classical  Faculty  and  Professor  of  Greek  and

monwealth, a brief  report  of  the  students,  studies,  aims  and  needs  of  the 
Classical  Department  for  the  two  years  beginning  June  1,  1-903,  and  ending 
June  1,  1905. 

Yours  respectfully, 

John  H.  Neville, 

Dean  and  Professor.

3.  AIMS. 


The  courses  in  Latin  and  Greek  are  intended  to  equal  in  extent,  variety 
and  thoroughness  those  of  the  best  land-grant  colleges. 

The  curriculum  leading  to  the  classical  degree  of  A.  B.  embraces  Latin, 
Greek,  English,  French,  German,  History,  Political  Economy,  Metaphysics, 
Mathematics  and  the  elements  of  Physical  Science  in  Chemistry,  Physics, 
Physiology,  Astronomy,  Botany,  Zoology  and  Geology;  and  it  is  designed  to 
meet  the  needs  of  students  who  are  to  become  teachers,  preachers,  lawyers, 
physicians,  journalists,  writers  or  scholars,  or,  it  may  be,  legislators  or 
authors. 

The  degree  of  A.  M.  is  conferred  upon  students  who,  having  attained  the 
degree  of  A.  B.,  pursue  a prescribed  course  of  studies  for  one  year  in  the 
College  or  two  years  elsewhere,  and  satisfy  the  faculty  by  thesis  or  examina- 
tion that  they  are  duly  proficient. 

4.  NEEDS. 

The  Classical  Department  needs  what  every  department  of  every  college 
and  university  in  the  State  needs — well-prepared  students.  It  is  questionable 
whether  students  come  to  college  as  well  prepared  as  they  came  fifty  years 
ago,  and  it  is  certain  that  if  the  work  done  in  college  is  ever  to  be  satis- 
factory in  amount  and  quality,  the  secondary  schools  of  the  State  must  be 
greatly  multiplied  and  improved,  and  that  their  multiplication  and  improve- 
ment will  be  the  result  of  slow  and  painful  evolution,  the  colleges  constantly 
and  inflexibly  insisting  on  better  work  in  the  schools  accredited  to  them. 
This  is  the  dreary  and  inevitable  prospect  before  us,  unless  some  enormously 
rich  man  shall,  with,  $20,000,000,  establish,  throughout  the  States  west  and 
south  of  Pennsylvania,  for  each  million  of  people,  or  even  in  each  State, 
a school  of  the  type  of  the  Phillips  Exeter  Academy.  He  would  prove  to  be

a far  greater  educational  factor  than  all  the  Stanfords  and  Rockefellers 
put  together,  for  his  benefaction  would  reach  and  bless  a hundred  timers  more 
recipients. 

Lest  some  one  may  suppose  that  classical  learning  is  dying  out,  or  is 
deemed  of  inferior  importance,  in  our  practical  country,  some  striking  statis- 
tics are  hereto  appended:  In  1903,  the  last  year  reported  by  the  National  Com- 
missioner of  Education,  there  were  in  513  colleges,  universities  and  techno- 
logical schools  of  the  United  States  114,130  students;  in  classical  courses 
51,152;  in  other  culture  courses,  13,605;  in  general  science,  7,397;  in  mechan- 
ical engineering,  6,800;  in  civil,  5,378;  in  electrical,  3,652;  in  mining,  2,244; 
in  agriculture,  3,306.  Respectfully  submitted, 

John  H.  Neville.

EQUIPMENT  AND  FACILITIES. 

Additions  to  the  equipment  which  have  been  set  forth  in  the  catalogue, 
with  which  you  are  no  doubt,  familiar,  have  been  made  from  the  appropria- 
tion set  aside  for  this  department  each  year.  Care  has  been  taken  that  the 
apparatus  purchased  is  the  best  that  can  be  obtained. 

At  the  present  time  we  are  fully  equipped  and  prepared  to  give  instruc- 
tion in  anatomy  and  physiology  equal  to  other  institutions  in  the  South  or 
West. 


MEDICAL  PREPARATIVE  BULLETIN. 

In  June,  1903,  a bulletin  was  issued  from  the  department,  outlining  a 
course  leading  to  the  degree  of  Bachelor  of  Science,  with  anatomy  and  phy- 
siology as  the  major  study. 

This  course  has  received  a liberal  patronage,  but  nothing  like  the  num- 


STATE  COLLEGE  OF  KENTUCKY. 


219 


ber  that  is  desired.  While  a good  proportion  of  those  matriculating  in  the 
science  course  have  selected  anatomy  and  physiology  as  their  major  study, 
there  are  not  as  many  students  taking  scientific  work  as  there  should  be. 

At  a recent  meeting  of  the  Kentucky  State  Medical  Society,  held  in  the 
city  of  Louisville,  I read  a paper  upon  the  subject  of  “College  Education 
Preparatory  to  the  Study  of  Medicine.”  The  advantages  of  the  course  pre- 
sented by  the  State  College,  which  is  preparatory  to  the  study  of  medicine, 
and  set  forth  in  the  bulletin,  were  given  in  full. 

This  was  well  received  and  elicited  a lengthy  discussion.  There  was  some 
friendly  criticism,  but  in  the  main  it  was  approved  by  the  society. 

RESEARCH. 

In  June,  1905,  a bulletin,  entitled  “The  Development  of  the  Bones  of  the 
Hand  as  Shown  by  the  X-ray  Method,”  was  issued  from  the  laboratory  of 
anatomy  and  physiology. 

Scientific  investigation  should  be  an  important  feature  of  this  department. 
While  it  is  our  aim  to  instruct  and  interest  the  student,  we  also  attempt  to 
develop  an  investigating  turn  of  mind  and  foster  the  desire  for  research  and 
original  work  which  has  been  excited,  and  encourage  the  student  in  this 
ambition. 

I have  no  recommendations  to  make  at  the  present  time.  There  has  been 
no  sickness  in  the  dormitories.  The  buildings  and  surroundings  are  kept 
in  a good  sanitary  condition. 

This  is  evidenced  by  the  continued  good  health  of  the  students. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

J.  M.  Pryor,  M.  D., 

Prof.  Anatomy  and  Physiology. 


Lexington,  Ky.,  October  23,  1905*. 

President  James  K.  Patterson: 

Dear  Sir:  In  compliance  with  your  request,  I have  the  honor  to  submit 
the  following  statement  of  the  organization  of  the  Academy,  and  a sum- 
mary of  the  work  don©  and  the  results  obtained  for  the  two  years  ending 
June  1,  1905: 

Sections  11  and  14  of  “An  Act  to  provide  for  the  effective  management 
and  administration  of  the  Agricultural  and  Mechanical  College  of  Kentucky,” 
approved  May  9,  1893,  provide  that,  “An  academy  or  preparatory  department 
to  prepare  students  for  the  regular  courses  of  study  in  the  College  shall 
be  established  and  maintained  in  connection  with  the  College,  under  a com- 
petent principal  and  assistants  and  under  the  general  supervision  and  con- 
trol of  the  faculty  thereof:  Provided,  that  no  standard  of  admission  into 
the  academy  shall  exclude  from  the  benefits  of  this  act  county  appointees 
who  have  completed  the  course  of  study  prescribed  by  law  for  the  common 
schools  of  the  Commonwealth.” 


220 


STATE  COLLEGE  OF  KENTUCKY. 


In  accordance  with  the  foregoing,  the  Board  of  Trustees  has  appointed 
a principal  and  three  assistants,  and  has  approved  the  following  requirements 
for  admission  and  courses  of  study: 

REQUIREMENTS  FOR  ADMISSION. 

The  courses  of  study  in  the  Academy  are  provided  for  those  who  enter 
directly  from  the  common  schools  and  are  intended  to  supply  the  necessary 
training  intermediate  between  the  Freshman  class  of  the  College  and  the 
course  of  study  prescribed  by  the  State  Board  of  Education  for  the  com- 
mon schools. 

Every  applicant,  to  be  admitted  to  the  Academy,  is  required  to  pass  a 
satisfactory  examination  in  Spelling,  Reading,  Writing,  Geography,  History 
of  the  United  States,  English  Grammar,  and  Arithmetic. 

County  appointees  must  present  certificates  of  appointment,  made  on 
actual  examination  held  in  pursuance  of  law  by  a County  Board  of  Exam- 
iners, duly  appointed  for  that  purpose  by  the  County  Superintendent. 

Applicants  from  the  public  schools  of  Lexington  must  present  certificates 
from  the  School  Board  setting  forth  that  they  have  completed  the  Eighth- 
grade  studies. 

Other  applicants  must  present  certificates  from  their  County  Superin- 
tendent, or  from  the  principal  of  their  High  School,  setting  forth  that  they

STATE  COLLEGE  OF  KENTUCKY. 


Section  14  of  the  charter  provides:  “The  selection  of  the  beneficiaries 
shall  be  made  by  the  superintendents  of  the  common  schools  in  their  re- 
spective counties,  upon  competitive  examination,  on  subjects  prepared  by 
the  Faculty  of  the  College,  and  transmitted  to  said  superintendents  before 
the  first  day  of  June  of  each  year. 

“Preference  shall  be  given,  other  things  being  equal,  to  those  who  have 
passed  with  credit  through  the  public  schools,  persons  of  energy  and  in- 
dustry, whose  means  are  small,  to  aid  whom  in  obtaining  a good  education 
this  provision  is  intended.  It  shall  be  the  duty  of  the  County  Superintendent 
to  make  known  the  benefits  of  this  provision  to  each  school  district  under 
his  superintendency,  with  the  time  and  place,  when  and  where  such  com- 
petitive examination  shall  be  held.  He  shall,  for  this  purpose,  appoint  a 
board  of  examiners,  whose  duty  it  shall  be  to  conduct  the  examination.” 

The  Ferguson  Act  of  March  21,  1902,  imposing  a penalty  on  County 
Superintendents  who  fail  to  perform  the  duties  required  of  them  under  the 
section  recited  above,  has  already  borne  good  fruit.  Since  the  law  became 
operative,  the  quality  and  preparation  of  the  county  appointees  who  have 
applied  for  admission  to  the  Academy  are  far  better  than  they  were  before 
the  law  was  passed. 

Respectfully, 

Walter  Kennedy  Patterson, 

Principal. 


President  James  K.  Patterson,  Ph.  D.,  LL.  D .,  President  of  the  A.  and  M. 

College,  Lexington,  Ky.: 

Dear  Sir:  I submit  herewith  the  biennial  report  of  the  Experiment 
Station  for  the  report  to  the  Legislature,  being  from  July  1,  1903,  to  July 
1,  1905. 

The  Experiment  Station  is  a department  of  the  State  College.  The  Board 
of  Trustees  of  the  College  has  general  charge  of  its  affairs.  This  Board 
appoints  annually  a committee,  called  the  Board  of  Control,  to  take  im- 
mediate charge.  The  work  of  the  Station  is  done  by  the  Station  staff.  Its 
members  consist  of  the  following: 

President  of  the  College. 

M.  A.  Scovell,  Director  and  Chemist. 

A.  M.  Peter,  Chemist. 

H.  E.  Curtis,  Chemist. 

H.  Garman,  Entomologist  and  Botanist. 

*J.  N.  Harper,  Agriculturist. 

W.  H.  Scherffius,  Chemist. 

R.  M.  Allen,  Secretary  Food  Division. 

J.  D.  Turner,  Secretary. 

J.  O.  LaBach,  Chemist. 

*George  Robert,  Assistant  Chemist. 

*Resigned  to  take  better  positions.

Miss  Mary  L.  Didlake,  Assistant  Entomologist  and  Botanist. 

S.  D.  Averitt,  Assistant  Chemist.

O.  M.  Shedd,  Assistant  Chemist. 

*G.  In.  Keller,  Assistant  Entomologist  and  Botanist. 

Since  the  last  report  a new  Station  building  has  been  erected.  The 
building  was  completed  early  in  1905,  and  we  are  now  comfortably  quartered 
in  it.  Under  the  crowded  condition  of  our  old  quarters  it  was  difficult  to 
do  satisfactory  work.  We  had  two  small  chemical  laboratories  for  research 
work,  for  fertilizer  analysis  and  for  food  control  work.  Our  books  were 
stacked  for  want  of  shelf  room,  making  our  library  almost  useless.  Several 
of  our  Station  force  were  without  offices.  This  condition  had  existed  for 
the  last  few  years,  and  the  difficulties  grew  more  each  year  as  the  work 
of  the  Station  increased. 

The  work  of  preparing  the  farm  for  experimental  purposes  is  nearly 
completed,  and  we  have  now  a considerable  amount  under  experiment. 

In  order  to  carry  on  the  work  of  the  Station  systematically,  the  work 
has  been  divided  into  the  following  divisions: 

Division  of  Correspondence. 

Division  of  Chemistry. 

Division  of  Entomology  and  Botany. 

Division  of  Horticulture. 

Division  of  Agriculture. 

Division  of  Animal  Husbandry. 

Division  of  Fertilizer  Control  Work. 

Division  of  Food  Control  Work. 

Under  these  heads  the  Station  is  doing  work  for  the  farmers  of  the  State 
in  various  ways.  It  is  endeavoring  to  keep  in  touch  with  them  by  corres- 
pondence. The  farmers  send  in  inquiries,  and  the  Station  takes  pains  to  give 
them  all  information  at  its  command.  The  inquiries  cover  a large  and 
varied  field.  Probably  the  greatest  number,  however,  are  in  regard  to  the 
improvement  of  tne  soils,  closely  followed  by  inquiries  about  injurious  in- 
sects and  diseases  of  plants.  The  Station  is,  and  has  been  for  several 
years,  making  a careful  study  of  the  soils  of  the  State  in  order  to  show 
the  farmers  how  their  soils  may  become  more  fertile.  In  order  to  do  this, 
careful  experiments  have  been  carried  on  in  different  parts  of  the  State 
with  the  farmers  to  show  what  the  soils  in  certain  sections  really  needed 
to  restore  them  to  their  original  fertility.  Some  positive  results  have  been 
obtained.  For  instance,  it  has  been  shown  conclusively  that  in  the  bluegrass 
region  where  the  soil  is  worn  it  needs  most  of  all  potash  to  restore  its 
fertility,  and  some  instances  potash  and  nitrogen,  but  the  phosphoric  acid 
is  in  sufficient  quantity  in  our  bluegrass  soils.  In  the  southern  part  of  Ken- 
tucky, as  in  southern  Christian  county,  the  soil  has  been  found  to  be  deficient 
in  phosphoric  acid;  while  in  some  sections  of  the  State  all  three  of  the

essential  fertilizer  ingredients,  namely — nitrogen,  potash  and  phosphoric  acid, 
are  needed  to  increase  the  productiveness  of  the  soils,  and,  if  used  intelli- 
gently, can  be  applied  profitably  to  such  soils. 

The  Station  recommends  that  where  nitrogen  is  needed  a careful  rota- 
tion of  crops  will  bring  about  renewed  fertility  of  soils — one  of  the  rotations 
to  be  clover,  cow  peas  or  alfalfa,  as  clover  and  leguminous  plants,  in  gen- 
eral, are  able  to  gather  the  nitrgen  from  the  atmosphere  and  give  it  to  the 
soils  for  future  crops.  In  all  cases  it  has  been  shown  that  the  rotation 
of  crops  is  essential  to  permanent  soil  fertility,  but  of  course  it  is  not  al- 
ways necessary  that  this  rotation  be  made  in  order  to  supply  plant  food, 
as,  for  instance,  a soil  that  needs  phosphoric  acid  can  receive  this  by  using 
bone  or  acid  phosphate,  but  if  the  fertilizer  be  applied  continually  from 
year  to  year  on  the  same  crop,  the  physical  condition  of  the  soil  becomes 
such  that  the  crops  do  not  grow  well,  in  spite  of  the  fact  that  they  may 
have  plenty  of  plant  food.  Consequently,  our  experiments  have  demonstrated 
that  where  artificial  fertilizers  are  used,  either  to  supply  phosphoric  acid, 
or  nitrogen,  or  potash,  or  any  two  or  all  three  of  them,  a judicious  rotation 
of  crops  is  essential  to  produce  best  results. 

The  question  of  soil  fertility  is  of  the  greatest  importance,  and  the 
Station  realizes  that  it  will  take  years  to  reach  the  results  desired  with 
the  funds  at  its  disposal,  and  at  present  it  will  be  impossible  to  do  the 
work  as  rapidly  as  we  wish  it  might  be  done. 

The  Station  has  called  the  attention  of  the  farmer  also  to  the  waste 
products  that  may  be  used  as  manure,  as  tobacco  stems  and  other  waste 
products  of  the  farm.  It  has  recommended,  from  time  to  time,  that  the 
best  possible  way  to  give  and  maintain  the  fertility  of  the  soil  is  to  feed 
the  products  of  the  farm  on  the  farm  rather  than  sell  them  off  of  the  farm; 
that  where  the  products  are  fed  to  cattle,  either  for  beef  or  dairy,  there 
is  very  little  soil  fertility  removed  from  the  soil,  and  where  a large  number 
of  animals  are  kept  on  a farm,  so  that  the  farmer  is  compelled  to  buy  bran, 
corn  and  fodder  to  feed  the  animals,  such  farms  are  being  enriched  con- 
tinually, if  the  manure  is  preserved  and  judiciously  applied. 

The  Department  of  Entomology  and  Botany  has  been  of  great  benefit  to 
the  farmers  in  preventing  the  ravages  of  insects  and  the  destruction  of 
crops  by  fungus  diseases.  A large  quantity  of  chinch  bug  fungus  has  been 
distributed,  and  this  distribution  has  now  extended  over  six  years.  In 
many  cases  reports  have  come  in  of  the  good  effects  of  this  fungus.  Almost 
daily,  specimens  of  weeds,  grasses  and  insects  have  been  sent  here  for  iden- 
tification. All  such  specimens  have  been  examined  and  the  parties  sending 
them  have  been  given  all  the  information  possible.  Not  only  the  name  of 
the  specimen  is  given,  but  if  the  specimen  is  injurious  to  crops,  the  best 
method  of  destroying  or  eradicating  the  same  is  fully  discussed  for  the  bene- 
fit of  the  party  sending  the  sample. 

In  the  chemical  division,  the  samples  of  minerals,  clays,  rocks  of  various 
kinds,  waters  and  fertilizers  which  are  sent  by  the  farmers,  are  identified 
free  of  charge.  In  the  case  of  mineral  waters,  we  examine  the  sample  to 
see  whether  they  have  mineral  properties  or  not,  but  we  do  not  determine 
the  amount  of  each  ingredient  unless  it  is  of  public  benefit.

On  the  farm  the  station  is  carrying  on  series  of  experiments  endeavor- 
ing to  improve  the  wheat  plant,  especially  as  to  its  yield  and  quality  as  a 
flour  producer.  Repeated  experiments  have  shown  that  a careful  selection 
of  wheat  heads  from  year  to  year  and  the  selection  of  the  best  kernels  in 
these  heads  will  produce  increased  yields  and  quality. 

The  same  experiments  are  being  made  with  corn.  These  are  being  car- 
ried on  in  coperation  with  the  United  States  Department  of  Agriculture. 
The  results  along  this  line  obtained  by  the  various  stations  in  the  corn 
belt  have  shown  that  corn  will  readily  respond  as  to  yield  by  a judicious 
selection  of  seed.  It  has  been  shown  that  in  general  farmers  lose  much  every 
year  by  carelessness  in  selecting  seed  corn.  The  time  will  come,  I believe, 
when  the  station  will  be  asked  to  determine  the  germinating  quality  of  the 
seed  corn  in  the  State.  It  has  been  shown  that  of  two  ears  selected  from 
the  same  field  and  planted  under  the  same  conditions  in  the  same  soil,  one 
will  produce  much  the  greater  yield.  Then  how  important  it  is  for  the 
farmer  to  select  his  seed  corn. 

It  is  confidently  believed  that  the  farmers  of  the  State  would  save  thou- 
sands of  dollars  every  year  if  they  would  scientifically  select  and  plant  only 
the  very  best  corn  as  seed. 

Another  plant  which  is  responding  rapidly  to  scientific  treatment  is 
tobacco.  The  tobacco  plant  is  very  susceptible  to  improvement  by  the  judic- 
ious. and  careful  selection  of  seed.  Enough  experiments  have  been  made  to 
conclude  that  if  care  is  taken  in  order  to  self  fertilize  good  plants  in  a to- 
bacco field,  the  seeds  of  such  self-fertilized  plants  will  produce  the  same 
quality  of  tobacco  as  the  parent  "plant.  Whereas,  if  the  seed  is  not  self 
fertilized,  an  inferior  plant  may  be  produced.  The  station  is  making  many  ex- 
periments in  this  line.  Kentucky  raise  a large  portion  of  the  tobacco  of  the 
country,  but  the  average  price  is  far  below  what  it  should  be  on  account  of 
the  quality  produced.  Our  study  so  far  shows  that  the  farmer  gives  very 
little  attention  to  raising  a good  quality  of  tobacco. 

Beside  the  work  of  the  station  proper,  it  has  charge  of  the  enforcement 
of  four  enactments  of  the  Kentucky  Legislature. 

1.  An  act  regulating  the  sale  of  fertilizers  in  the  State. 

2.  An  act  regulating  the  manufacture  and  sale  of  the  foods  in  the  State. 

3.  Inspection  of  nursery  stock  in  the  State. 

4.  Inspection  of  seeds. 

THE  FERTILIZER  CONTROL  WORK. 

The  fertilizer  control  work  is  of  much  importance  to  the  State,  and  I am 
pleased  to  state  that  the  regulation  as  to  the  sale  of  fertilizer  is  well  un- 
der control.  We  have  no  complaints  as  to  the  manner  of  the  enforcement 
of  the  law,  and  few  as  to  inferior  goods.  In  order  to  make  thorough  in- 
spection, we  do  not  depend  upon  the  samples  sent  here  by  the  manufac- 
turers, but  send  inspectors  in  the  various  parts  of  the  State  to  take  samples 
in  the  hands  of  the  retail  merchants,  or  sometimes  from  the  wagons  as  they 
are  sold  to  the  farmers.  These  samples  are  analyzed  and  the  results  are 
published  in  the  form  of  a bulletin  giving  the  name  of  the  fertilizer,  the 


226 


STATE  COLLEGE  OF  KENTUCKY. 


name  and  address  of  the  manufacturer,  from  whom  obtained,  the  guaranteed 
analysis,  the  amount  found  of  each  fertilizer  ingredient  and  the  estimated 
value  per  ton.  If  any  sample  falls  below  the  guaranteed  analysis,  attention 
is  called  to  the  fact  in  the  bulletin. 

The  income  from  the  fertilizer  control  work  in  1903  was  $15,976.50;  for 
1904,  $18,040.30.  In  1903,  the  number  of  tags  issued  was  659,734;  in  1904, 
636,284.  There  have  been  over  50  samples  sent  in  by  the  farmers  for  analysis 
during  the  two  years.  The  total  number  of  analyses  made  was  720. 

THE  FOOD  CONTROL  WORK. 

The  new  work  which  the  act  of  1898  presented,  with  no  precedent  rules 
to  guide  its  organization,  is  being  brought  under  an  effective  sytem  as  to 
our  knowledge  of  the  manufacture  and  distribution  and  adulteration  of  food 
increases.  We  are  now  beginning  to  get  substantial  results.  By  strict  en- 
forcement of  the  law,  coloring  matter  and  antiseptics  have  been  taken 
out  of  fruits  and  vegetable  products.  The  elimination  of  coloring  matter 
and  antiseptics  from  these  products  means  that  Kentucky  is  getting  jellies, 
catsups  and  canned  stuffs  made  from  fresh,  ripe  materials  instead  of  stored 
pulp,  starch,  cores,  peelings,  or  the  green  and  sometimes  the  rotten  fruits 
and  vegetables  from  which  it  is  possible  to  make  such  products  when  coal 
tar  dyes  and  preservatives  are  used.  Formerly,  most  of  our  honeys  were 
adulterated,  but  now  there  is  scarcely  an  instance  of  adulterated  honey  in 
the  market,  and  better  grades  of  New  Orleans  and  sorghum  molasses  are 
found  in  the  Kentucky  markets. 

Each  regular  inspection  of  the  milk  supply  of  the  State  shows  the  effect 
of  the  enforcement  of  the  law.  In  our  first  inspections,  we  found  many 
samples  of  milk  containing  formaldehyde,  freezine  and  iceine  and  other 
preservatives,  and  many  samples  that  were  colored  and  looked  like  milk 
or  cream  which  often  had  less  than  2 per  cent,  fat  in  them.  Now  our 
inspectors  rarely  find  watered  milk  or  skimmed  milk  sold  as  milk. 

Heretofore,  we  have  found  sausage,  ham  and  cured  meats  of  all  kinds 
containing  boracic  acid,  but  lately  the  packers  have  agreed  to  eliminate 
boracic  acid  from  the  meats  sent  into  Kentucky.  This  is  certainly  a triumph 
for  the  food  law.  It  means  the  elimination  of  all  but  the  best  meats,  as  only 
the  best  cured  meats  can  be  preserved  without  the  addition  of  antiseptics. 

The  labeling  provision  of  the  Kentucky  pure  food  .law  was  a wise  enact- 
ment. The  manufacturers  sometimes  dispute  the  attributed  reason  for  using 
coal  tar  dyes  and  antiseptics  as  to  the  effect  of  these  substances  upon  health, 
but  they  have  been  unable  to  show  any  reason  why  the  consumer  should 
not  know  it  whenever  these  substances  are  used.  It  has  been  difficult  at 
all  times  to  enforce  this  provision  of  the  law,  and  some  of  the  manufacturers 
try  to  evade  it  by  giving  the  information  in  technical  terms  or  small  type, 
and  often  inserting  it  in  the  body  of  other  reading  matter.  The  station 
insists  that  all  labeling  must  be  plain  so  as  to  be  readily  understood  by 
the  average  purchaser.  In  this  we  have  been  upheld  by  the  courts. 

During  the  year  of  1904,  465  samples,  and  in  1905,  671  samples,  were 
taken  for  analysis.  Three  hundred  samples  collected  in  1903  were  analyzed 


STATE  COLLEGE  OF  KENTUCKY. 


227 


in  1904,  and,  in  addition  to  the  samples  collected,  49  samples  were  sent  to 
the  station  for  analysis  by  consumers,  making  814  samples  enalyzed  in 
1904,  of  which  221  were  found  to  be  adulterated.  Of  the  671  sample  collected 
in  1905  for  analysis,  392  have  been  completed.  Out  of  the  392  samples,  102 
were  found  to  be  adulterated  and  so  were  reported  to  the  Commonwealth 
attorneys  over  the  State. 

The  results  show  that  there  is  a large  decrease  in  the  percentage  of  adul- 
teration. This  summary  is  given  as  an  example  of  the  work.  As  required 
by  law,  a detail  report  of  the  work  is  in  preparation  to  be  submitted  to 
the  Governor. 

INSPECTION  OF  NURSERY  STOCK  IN  THE  STATE. 

Professor  Garman  has  charge  of  the  inspection  of  the  nursery  stock  in  the 
State.  Only  expenses  are  allowed  by  the  State  for  this  work.  Professor 
Garman’s  salary  is  paid  out  of  the  Federal  fund  and  the  Department  of  Agri- 
culture which  has  supervision  of  the  Federal  funds,  is  of  the  opinion  that  Pro- 
fessor Garman  should  not  give  directly  his  time  to  the  inspection  of  the 
nursery  stock,  as  the  Federal  fund  from  which  his  salary  comes  is  for  the 
purpose  of  investigation  rather  than  inspection.  The  law  therefore  in  re- 
gard to  the  inspection  of  nursery  stock  of  the  State  should  be  changed  and, 
if  the  State  desires  that  this  work  should  be  continued,  an  appropriation 
should  be  made  to  pay  an  assistant  to  help  do  this  work. 

INSPECTION  OF  SEEDS. 

The  last  Legislature  has  passed  a law  in  regard  to  the  inspection  of  seeds 
and  placed  its  enforcement  in  the  hands  of  the  Experiment  Station,  but  pro- 
vided no  funds  for  the  inspection.  The  station,  however,  has  undertaken 
the  work  without  funds  specially  appropriated  for  this  purpose  and  in  1904 
examined  119  samples.  In  1905,  281  samples  were  collected,  making  a total 
of  400  samples  since  the  law  went  into  effect.  Most  of  the  samples  have 
been  found  to  be  adulterated.  The  law,  as  it  stands,  is  very  imperfect,  but 
the  results  of  our  work  have  shown  the  necessity  of  having  the  seeds  of  the 
State  examined. 


PUBLICATIONS. 

The  station  publishes  from  time  to  time  bulletins  giving  the  results  of 
the  station’s  work  and  sends  them  to  every  citizen  of  the  State  who  may 
express  a desire  of  receiving  them.  Our  mailing  list  is  increasing  contin- 
ually and  it  is  hoped  that  the  time  will  come  wdien  at  least  50,000  farmers 
of  the  State  may  receive  these  bulletins.  The  following  bulletins  have  been 
published  since  July  1,  1903: 

Bulletin  No.  108. — Some  Results  in  Steer  Feeding.

Thirteenth  Annual  Report 

RECOMMENDATIONS. 

1.  As  stated  heretofore  in  this  report,  one  of  the  greatest  problems  before 
the  Experiment  Station  is  the  matter  of  soil  fertility.  This  subject  has  been 
receiving  the  attention  of  the  Experiment  Stations  in  the  North  and  West, 
and  the  Legislature  of  Illinois,  at  its  last  session,  appropriated  $40,000  to 
the  Experiment  Station  for  the  purpose  of  making  a very  thorough  soil  sur- 
vey of  the  State.  Iowa  has  also  made  a large  appropriation  for  the  support  of 
the  Experiment  Station  in  this  work;  so  has  Wisconsin,  Minnesota  and 
Missouri. 

The  soils  of  Kentucky  have  been  longer  under  cultivation  than  the  States 
above  mentioned,  and  we  find  that  our  soils  in  many  instances  do  not  pro- 
duce as  good  crops  as  they  formerly  did.  If  Kentucky  is  to  keep  apace 
with  the  agricultural  States,  she  must  learn  to  improve  her  soils  in  modern 
ways.  This  station  is  doing  all  it  can  possibly  do  with  the  funds  at  present 
available.  We  have  always  given  much  attention  to  this  work,  but  the  de- 
mand for  it  has  increased  beyond  our  ability  to  meet  it.  Within  the  last 
two  years,  we  have  made  nearly  one  hundred  analyses  of  soils  from  various 
parts  of  the  State;  some  results  have  been  striking.  The  State  should  be 
divided  into  various  divisions  and  in  each  division  should  be  a sub-station 
for  the  purpose  of  studying  the  soil  fertility.  Illinois  has  undertaken  this 
work  in  this  w^ay.  The  principal  work,  as  analysis  of  soils,  etc.,  is  carried 
on  at  the  Experiment  Station  proper,  but  the  field  experiments,  under  charge 
of  thoroughly  competent  Experiment  Station  men,  are  carried  on 
in  various  parts  of  the  State.  If  there  could  be  $10,000  available  a 
year  for  this  work,  I believe  in  a short  time  we  would  be  able  to  obtain 
results  which  would  be  worth  hundreds  of  thousands  of  dollars  each  year 
to  the  State.  In  connection  with  the  fertilizer  control  work,  we  can  do 
some  of  this  work.  If  there  are  no  other  funds  available,  we  can  at  least 
put  one  man  in  charge  who  should  devote  his  whole  time  in  the  study  o# 
fertilizers  in  the  various  geological  formations  of  the  State,  but  heretofore 
it  has  been  impossible  to  do  this,  as  the  money  was  needed  to  put  up  build- 
ings and  to  buy  land  for  the  station.  We  are  now  in  a position  to  devote 
more  time  to  this  special  feature  of  our  work.  With  modern  methods  of

chemical  analysis,  much  can  be  learned  by  chemical  investigation  on  soils, 
but  to  be  of  value  such  soils  should  be  typical.  A soil  survey  of  the  State, 
in  connection  with  the  geological  survey,  would  be  of  great  help,  especially 
if  soil  samples  could  be  taken  by  one  of  our  men  accompanying  a geologist 
who  can  give  all  of  the  detail  as  to  the  geological  formation.  Nothing  helps 
more  than  a careful  geological  survey,  and  I would  suggest  that  in  the 
appropriation  for  the  geological  survey,  provision  be  made  for  this  work. 

2.  I would  recommend  that  the  inspection  of  the  nursery  stock  law  be 
so  amended  as  to  provide  sufficient  funds  for  the  expense  of  a thorough  in- 
spection and  an  assistant  to  assist  in  the  work.  It  is  impossible  for  Pro- 
fessor Garman  to  give  the  time  to  it  that  is  necessary. 

3.  The  law  in  regard  to  the  inspection  of  seeds  should  be  enlarged.  It 
should  cover  the  adulteration  of  all  seeds  and  the  germination  qualities 
also;  and  provision  should  be  made  in  the  law  for  expenses  necessary  to  carry 
on  the  work. 

4.  The  fertilizer  and  food  laws  are  working  satisfactorily  and  I would 
make  no  suggestion  as  to  changes  in  them,  except  possibly  that  there  should 
be  a separate  law  in  regard  to  cattle  feed.  While  our  present  food  law  covers 
this  in  some  respect,  it  is  not  explicit  enough.  Many  States  have  passed 
cattle  feed  laws.  From  our  work  here  it  is  evident  that  it  is  necessary  to 
inspect  cattle  feed,  especially  the  mixed  feeds.  We  found  in  many  instances 
where  bran  was  adulterated  with  corn-cob  meal  and  being  sold  as  bran.  A 
striking  example  of  this  was  found  in  Elizabethtown.  A certain  firm  bought 
a mixed  feed  from  a Louisville  firm  and  sold  it  as  bran.  It  was  properly 
labeled  when  it  left  Louisville,  and  even  in  the  store  of  the  seller,  but  when 
a dairyman  or  farmer  called  for  bran,  this  mixed  feed  was  given  him  and, 
just  before  it  was  delivered,  the  tags  were  torn  off  the  sacks.  This  is  only 
one  of  many  instances  we  have  discovered  during  the  last  year.  From  the 
results  of  our  work,  I believe  we  should  have  a separate  law  covering  the 
sale  of  stock  feeds  in  this  State. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

M.  A.  Scovell, 


Director.

Military  Department  A.  & M.  College. 

Lexington,  Ky.,  November  30,  1905. 

To  the  President  A.  and  M.  College: 

Sir:  I have  the  honor  to  render  the  following  report  of  the  Military 
Department  of  this  Colege  for  the  period  ending  June  30,  1905. 

Captain  George  L.  Byroade,  U.  S.  Army,  retired,  was  the  officer  detailed 
at  this  College  by  the  War  Department  during  the  period  1902  to  1904;  under 
his  supervision  the  battalion  of  cadets  was  organized  and  the  officers  ap- 
pointed in  the  fall  of  1903.  The  Military  Department  was  inspected  in  May, 
1904,  by  Captain  John  W.  Barker,  Third  U.  S.  Infantry,  detailed  from  the 
army  for  the  purpose. 

In  the  latter  part  of  May,  the  battalion  under  Captain  Byroade  went  to 
the  Louisiana  Purchase  Exposition  for  a period  of  two  weeks  at  slight  cost 
to  each  cadet.  It  was,  on  the  whole,  beneficial,  as  most  of  those  who  thus 
visited  the  Exposition  would  probably  not  otherwise  have  seen  it. 

Captain  Byroade  was  relieved  from  duty  at  this  institution  the  latter 
part  of  July,  1904,  and  the  undersigned  detailed  by  the  War  Department 
August  4,  1904. 

I arrived  in  Lexington  August  21,  1904,  and,  upon  the  opening  of  the 
College,  entered  upon  my  duties.  The  battalion  was  organized  and  the  of- 
ficers appointed  after  some  delay,  owing  to  the  fact  that  I was  a stranger 
and  was  not  acquainted  with  their  capabilities. 

The  discipline  of  the  institution  has  been  very  good,  but  one  case  of  in- 
subordination having  occurred,  ihe  cadet  being  suspended.  The  general  con- 
trol of  the  younger  cadets  has  been  an  easy  task,  and  I look  for  no  trouble 
in  the  future. 

The  battalion  was  inspected  by  Captain  R.  B.  Parrott,  Twenty-seventh  U. 
S.  Infantry,  detailed  from  the  army  for  that  duty,  on  May  17,  1905. 

It  is  desired  to  make  the  military  feature  of  this  College  a training 
school  for  the  officers  of  the  organized  militia  and  as  an  adjunct  to  the 
National  Guard  of  the  State.  To  that  end  closer  relations  should  be  culti- 
vated with  the  headquarters  of  the  National  Guard  and  more  and  greater  rec- 
ognition accorded  the  graduates  of  this  institution,  who  have  held  commis- 
sioned offices  in  the  cadet  battalion. 

The  first  step  has  already  been  taken,  a list  having  been  furnished  the 
Adjutant  General  of  the  State,  at  his  request,  containing  the  names  of  all 
recent  graduates  of  the  College  now  residing  in  the  State  who,  while  cadets, 
were  officers  in  the  battalion. 

The  course  as  now  laid  out  for  the  officers  will  cover  in  recitation  and 
lecture  work  the  following  books:  Infantry  Drill  Regulations,  Manual  of 
Guard  Duty,  Army  Regulations,  Firing  Regulations  for  Small  Arms,  Field 
Service  Regulations,  U.  S.  Army,  and  a typical  campaign. 

It  is  earnestly  recommended  that  if  possible  recognition  for  the  graduated 
cadets  be  obtained  by  conferring  upon  them  the  honorary  rank  of  captain 
by  brevet  in  the  National  Guard  of  the  State. 

Very  respectfully, 

W.  B.  Burtt, 

First  Lieut.  Fifth  U.  S.  Infantry. 

Professor  of  Military  Science  and  Tactics,  Commandant. 


STATE  COLLEGE  OF  KENTUCKY.

Lexington,  Ky.,  November  26,  1905. 
President  James  K.  Patterson,  State  College  of  Kentucky: 

Dear  Sir:  I have  the  honor  to  submit  to  you  the  following  report  of  the 
Department  of  Physical  Training  for  the  past  two  years.  On  account  of 
the  broad  scope  of  physical  education,  this  brief  report  can  be  no  more  than 
a summary,  but  it  is  hoped  that  what  is  said  will  be  more  or  less  indicative 
of  the  daily  work  of  the  department. 

At  the  beginning  of  the  collegiate  year,  each  new  student  is  subjected 
to  an  examination  by  the  Medical  Adviser  in  order  to  ascertain  whether  or 
not  he  is  physically  able  to  enter  the  work.  If  eligible,  he  is  then  subjected 
to  another  physical  examination  by  the  physical  director.  This  examination 
includes  strength  tests,  measurements,  family  history,  etc.,  as  indicated  on 
the  card  inclosed.  After  this  examination,  he  is  assigned  to  a regular  class 
for  physical  training  and  special  exercise  is  prescribed,  in  case  it  is  needed. 
Records  are  kept  for  attendance  and  proficiency,  a certain  standard  being 
required. 

The  work  is  conducted  along  scientific  lines  with  a view  to  the  drawing 
out  of  latent  physical  powers-  and  the  development  of  all.  The  physiological 
and  psychological  effect  of  the  various  exercises  being  known,  the  principle 
of  “gymnastic  selection”  has  been  applied  throughout. 

It  has  been  the  policy  of  the  department  in  all  competitive  sports  to 
place  the  rational  education  of  the  body  above  victory,  to  discourage  the 
“to  win”  idea  and  to  encourage  the  “sport  for  sport’s  sake”  idea  in  ath- 
letics and  games.  We  believe  and  teach  that  the  aim  of  the  department  is 
mainly  three  fold:  First,  physical,  developing  strength,  grace,  activity,  an 
erect  carriage  and  manly  bearing,  steadiness  of  motion,  accuracy  of  motion, 
and  the  correction  of  anatomical  deformities;  second,  physiological,  strength- 
ening and  normalizing  the  various  organs  and  promoting  harmony  in  the 
exercise  of  their  various  functions,  which  condition  is  health;  third  psycho- 
logical, affording  opportunity  for  recreation  and  developing  attention,  judg- 
ment, discrimination,  etc.  Aside  from  these,  the  ethical,  moral  and  social 
benefits  are  not  forgotten  nor  overlooked.  Toward  such  ends  we  have  la- 
bored and  such  results  are  we  accomplishing.  Hence,  we  endeavor  to  make 
victory  or  defeat  in  competitive  work  secondary  and  incidental  rather  than 
an  end  in  itself. 

By  prescription  of  special  exercise,  we  have  paid  special  attention  to  the 
correction  of  such  physical  deformities  as  flat  or  narrow  chest,  round  or 
stooping  shoulders,  curvature  of  the  spine,  protruding  hips,  poking  chin, 
and  obesity,  and  in  curing,  relieving  or  preventing  such  functional  dis- 
orders as  constipation,  stomach  troubles,  nervous  affections,  heart  troubles 
and  consumption.  Along  these  lines,  physical  training  is  mainly  preven- 
tive. Much  of  the  good  effect  of  the  work  can  not  be  seen.  Who  can  tell 
how  many  diseases  have  been  presented  and  how  much  time  and  money 
has  been  saved  to  the  students?  By  means  of  the  department,  students  have 
been  enabled  to  successfully  acquire  a college  education  who  otherwise  would 
never  have  been  able  to  do  so  on  account  of  tendencies  to  certain  diseases. 
But  it  has  done  more,  for  many  of  such  students  have  been  sent  out  as

graduates  with  even  a better  physical  basis  for  life’s  work  than  when  they 
entered. 

We  feel  that  for  our  farmer  boys  (of  whom  a large  per  cent,  of  our 
student  body  is  composed),  who  have  always  been  accustomed  to  an  active 
out-door  life,  it  were  fatal  to  their  future  usefulness  in  life  to  change  their 
environment  so  entirely  and  suddenly  by  cooping  them  up  within  the  walls 
of  the  class  rooms  for  months  without  offering  them  opportunities  for 
physical  exercise,  and  even  making  it  compulsory  upon  them  to  take  it. 
We  also  feel  that  it  is  just  as  important  for  the  city-raised  boy.  While  one 
unaccustomed  to  physical  activity  could  probably  stand  the  strain  of  ac- 
quiring an  education  better  than  the  first  class;  yet  they  would  go  from  col- 
lege with  a stooping  figure,  pale  faces,  cold  extremities,  weak  hearts,  dis- 
ordered stomachs  and  wrecked  nervous  systems,  when  they  should  be  in 
the  prime  of  a vigorous  physical  manhood.  We  have  put  blood  into  their 
cheeks,  fresh  air  into  their  lungs,  and  have  given  tone  to  their  nerves.  Such 
work  has  been  given  as  would  benefit  all,  but  special  attention  has  been 
paid  to  those  most  imperfect  physically. 

Class  attendance  has  been  above  the  average  in  institutions  of  this  kind, 
and  the  large  number  of  daily  voluntary  workers  has  been  gratifying. 

The  work  this  year  has  opened  even  more  auspiciously  than  heretofore 
and  we  expect  to  make  this  department  more  and  more  a factor  for  good 
each  year,  as  we  have  done  in  the  past. 

Assuring  you  of  our  best  service  and  thanking  you  for  your  earnest 
cooperation,  I have  the  honor  to  remain 

Your  obedient  servant, 

W.  W.  H.  Mustaine, 

Physical  Director.
